<\/a><\/p>\nIf you’ve been reading, you will have noticed the recap of our autumn creative gathering last week. So as promised this week we can bring you the schedule! We will visit the local market and an artisanal butcher to buy produce, we will then cook with Giulia in her beautiful Tuscan home and studio. We’ll walk around San Gimignano by night and have dinner there, explore Sienna, visit a working farm, learn about sourdough baking, and table arrangements to go home as a perfect host. We will eat, drink and have fun, but we will also learn. There is an introduction to Lightroom if you are interested to participate, there is a talk on food writing, and Sarka, Giulia and I will talk you through how we photograph. We will also talk about how we got where we are today.<\/p>\n
The event will be one day longer as our previous guests gave us the feedback they would have loved an extra day. This edition it is also a possibility to choose a single room, and there is an option to stay longer as on tuesday after the gathering there will be a big garden party in Giulia’s garden.<\/p>\n
What is Three Acres Greative Gathering<\/strong><\/p>\n For five years now we have been growing creatively together and while we struggled to find a work\/life balance, especially in the process of writing books! We always managed to find new strength by arranging creative get togethers where we laugh, cook, eat, drink and most importantly learn from each other. We have now joined forces under \u2018Three Acres\u2019 to create this get together in beautiful places so you too can join in the conversation, the learning, the cooking and the eating. We will take photo\u2019s though you don\u2019t have to be a professional or even hobby photographer, just capture the moment with whatever camera you got.
