artisans in the marche

[adriatica]

being in the neighbouring province to ascoli piceno came across some local info that might interest those of you in the south of the region at san benedetto del tronto...

have posted it already in lisa's arts and crafts thread but this is a more relevant area ...

Consorzio Art For Job Formazione - Scuola d'Artigianato

Artforjob

two links... one for their courses and one for their main website... it seems that the marche is ahead of the game in terms of promoting their local artists and artisans

however they do offer courses ... most of them seem to start in January .... and i guess maybe some of you might like to spend some hours indoors getting some local techniques perfected... its open to all they say... although i presume some relevant skill and expertise in the chosen field would help....
