2024 Textile Artist in Residence Programme, Scholarships, Weaving Courses
Studio Aphorisma’s atelier is located on a beautiful hill near Florence in Italy, in a former farm holding nestled among vineyards, cypresses, olive trees and centuries old oaks. Artist Nicola Sansò and fabric designer Anna Silberschmidt run the studio, which represents a reference and cultural exchange point for people boasting different experiences in the textile and art sectors.
Textile Artist in Residence Programme
Studio Aphorisma offers a residency programme for the training, research and creation of textiles, based on the idea of supporting the encounter and exchange among craftspeople, designers, textile artists or simply enthusiasts interested in this field.
Our weaving atelier is nestled in one of the most beautiful settings in the Tuscan countryside, in the heart of the Chianti area. In this stimulating environment, artists in residence will find ideal conditions for their inspiration and creative work.
People who want to independently develop a personal research project in a quiet, well-equipped space, as well as persons who wish to deepen and expand their knowledge in this field can apply.
On request residents can also benefit from our technical and artistic advice for the realisation of their projects, combining traditional knowledge and skills with a contemporary approach. Individual weaving lessons can be booked on request.
