The Pandora workshops are located in the medieval town of Sorano, in southern Tuscany. The various workshops at Pandora, are inside the imposing Orsini Fortress in Sorano, and are fully equipped for the different activities: ceramics, glass, painting techniques, sculpture, restoring and photography. Pandora organises a variety of courses, mostly in summer, of a duration of one or two weeks: a large part of the courses are designed to widen students knowledge of the applied arts. The course structures are of a high standard, employing qualified artists and teachers. The Pandora workshops also give exhibitions of international artists and organize art lectures. All the workshops have an open space for working outdoors. The centre of the village and the accommodation are at short distance from the school.
Outline of the courses
The courses are held in the Fortezza Orsini in Sorano where the teaching laboratories are situated. All courses, except for the advanced ones, start at a basic level and therefore do not require any particular previous experience on the part of the pupils. The teaching staff consists of specialized instructors, art masters and professional artists. All materials and tools are supplied by the school and are normally included in the cost of the courses. Lessons have a duration of 6\8 hours (depending on the course) for all the days -holidays included- indicated in the attached schedule. All students may attend courses other than the specific ones in which they are enrolled. At the end of each course participants will be issued with a certificate of attendance.
Extra activities during the courses: as well as the courses, the school organizes visits to places of archaeological, historical and natural interest in the neighbouring countryside: Etruscan necropolis, the medieval towns of Sovana and Pitigliano, the rocky settlements of Vitozza, Lake Bolsena, the thermal baths at Saturnia, the neighbouring towns Viterbo, Orvieto and Tarquinia (see the page: SORANO IN TUSCANY)
