Florentine experience! 10/10 - What a fabulous experience! Jen was full of knowledge about art, and the tradition of paper marbeling in Florence. She was also super encouraging and helped us get creative during the session. Everyone at home is complimenting what we made! Would definitely book again when we come back to Florence.
