Check before booking. We were the only 2 people on this course. Without explanation the teacher advertised was not available. In our view we found that the description of what the event offered (a hand's on experience and explanation of the art of paper mache) was not fully provided and focused more on very simple paper mache and clay work rather than explaining the history and art of paper mache. We had to ask a lot of questions. The 2 people replacing the tutor were very helpful and friendly providing some entertainment and we appreciated the tour of a local museum but this was not what we paid for. If the event had provided what was advertised it looks great but if booking double check that you will get what the advert says. Before posting we contacted the event providers raising our concerns and they responded very promptly but suggested our expectations were too high. For the money charged for a 1 hour event, we certainly do not think this was the case and learnt little new. We wish this enterprise well but suggest if they cannot provide what is advertised they should have cancelled the eventSteven_N

Very friendly lady, very good english translator. Course was well adapted to the audience (adults and children). Cosy spot with a rich history. We had a lot of fun and laughter with the group. Better to foresee more then one hour to complete the art work. Would advice the course 👍

Ho partecipato a una lezione di arte con la cartapesta guidata da un maestro artigiano in Salento. È stata un’esperienza molto interessante e creativa, che mi ha permesso di scoprire una delle tecniche più antiche e tipiche di questa regione. La cartapesta è un materiale ottenuto da strati di carta bagnata e colla, che si modella e si colora per creare oggetti di varie forme e dimensioni. Ho imparato a realizzare una maschera tradizionale, seguendo i consigli e le spiegazioni del maestro. Mi sono divertito molto a sperimentare con i colori e le decorazioni, e sono rimasto soddisfatto del risultato finale. La lezione è stata anche un’occasione per conoscere meglio la storia e la cultura del Salento, attraverso le sue espressioni artistiche. Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono provare qualcosa di diverso e originale. Grazie alla famiglia Faggiano che ha curato appropriatamente questa esperienza unica nel centro storico di Lecce che trasuda storia antica e realtà socio-contemporanea del territorio Salentino
