Bargello is an ancient and beautiful form of embroidery which is colourful and fascinating. If your deepest desire is to challenge your own creative limits and to open up to new experiences, then come and join us in Tuscany for a week's Stitching Retreat or in London for a weekend. The Tuscany Bargello Stitching Retreats take place in a restored farmhouse set in 90 hectares of land with its own olive trees and woodlands and an acacia grove with hammocks for relaxation. A wonderful break for the Bargello enthusiast! |
