Spend the day with cookbook author Emiko Davies and artist Molly Reeder in San Miniato, Tuscany in this intimate watercolour painting class.

We start by visiting the Slow Food Farmer’s Market in San Miniato and a stroll through the countryside for a bit of foraging to pick up some produce and plants to inspire your paintings. After a coffee break with some local artisanal pastries, Molly will take you through the steps to creating your own watercolour painting. All the materials will be provided, including a beautiful handmade ceramic paint palette, a little gift for you to take home.

Emiko will keep you fed with a seasonal lunch prepared with local ingredients and paired with natural wines.

Molly Reeder is an artist specializing in botanical, plant & food story.

She is particularly inspired by the weaving threads within food and plant ancestry, and the wisdom of the natural world. Molly seeks meaningful collaborations through the lens of her artwork, where her paintings and illustrations help to support and showcase community & human rights organizations, and especially environmental/climate activism efforts.
