Workshops Organized by Date

Il Chiostro offers workshops in Italy two seasons each year, spring and fall. Each workshop is set in one location for the week to give you the opportunity to become familiar with a place so you can comfortably settle into your creative exercises. By the end of the workshop you will most likely consider that location home. There may be up to four concurrent workshops offered during the week, so you can take one workshop while a partner or friend takes another one in the same location.

Reorganize workshop view according to:
