Duration: approx. 3 hours
Inside a workshop where wood is worked using techniques handed down through time, you will come into contact with the art of Florentine inlay. Among traditional tools and natural materials, you will be welcomed by Renato Olivastri, master craftsman, who will guide you step by step in creating your own design.
An experience that requires attention, precision, and an eye capable of grasping details and nuances.
You will begin by discovering the origins and principles of this decorative technique, then move on to practice. You will use the fret saw to cut the wood, work on shapes, and learn to create shading with hot sand, slowly building the composition. Each element will be assembled with care, like a balance made of joints and proportions.
And at some point, you are no longer just executing, but begin to recognize the value of every detail.
An authentic way to connect with Florence through a refined technique that combines art, history, and craftsmanship.
