Creating the drapery is an art.
It is an ancient technique that derives from the necessity to cover up themselves. It has evolved during time, continuously improving, becoming a real discipline to build a paper pattern.
It is seemingly easy to do it, but it actually hides a series of specific rules that are essential for the construction of a successful and perfect paper pattern.
We will design an article of clothing together and we will try to drape it. This will be a way to get to know the basic drapery knowledge.
If you really are curious though, I suggest you to become yourself the mannequin. You can thus observe through your drapery how the article takes shape on your body. This is so by choosing the movement and the lines.
This is a unique experience to understand how the fabric can change your shapes. It is all up to the way the draped fabric is used.
If you choose to do the mannequin, I suggest you to wear tight clothes, t-shirt and trousers that can be stapled.

TAILOR-MADE DRAWING
Rossella, tailoring
Have you ever wondered where does the inspiration to realize a dress come from?? In my case the inspiration are my clients. I interpret their dreams and their needs. I support them and suggest them which are the lines and the colors that could enhance their personality. Are you curious about getting to know how to go from the personality to the drawing? I invite you to try this experience during an explanatory talk and a first draft of the drawing thought just for you!

YOUR CUSTOM-MADE HAT
Renato, milliner
The workshop includes a short presentation of the work of the milliner and hatmaker, in which the different spaces of the atelier are shown, and the different activities that are carried out there. Then we move on to the making phase, which is organized as follows: 1 hour of preparing the hat shape (possible materials: sisal,straw or felt) from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.; lunch break circa 2 hours, and then from 2 to 5 p.m. we will work to finish and decorate the hat made previously. This particular type of craftsmanship involves fixing the hat shape in a kind of oven. This procedure requires a break time between the first stage of work and the next one, during which the work will be refined and finished.

GILDING ON WOOD
Stefania & Carlo, restorers
We will work together for about one hour, depending on the number of participants. We will begin with a brief introduction to the art of gilding, in which we will introduce you to the materials and decorative techniques by which you can understand the historical placements of the object. We will explain how gouache and mission gilding works and give some hints about the techniques of restoration of gilded and lacquered wooden works. For the practical part, you will get to try mission gilding of a small wooden object of Florentine manufacture and its subsequent aging. The wooden object provided by the school for rehearsal will be given to you free of charge as a memento of your visit.
