Five lessons, every week for two and half hours.
This is the favourite course we do, the people attending usually stay in contact with each other after the course and attend more lessons with Gioia to perfect some skills. Everyone is been absolutely lovely and interested in the work.
After purchased the course, Add us on WhatsApp at +44 (0) 78 22002982 and confirm week by week if you will be attending the Saturday class.
Gioia will send a reminder to all participants to confirm the attendance or skip for that week so she'll plan the lesson accordingly.
Down here you'll find the 5 weeks plan, that of course can be slightly modified with the teacher if you have something specific you would like to achieve.
