Autumn in Sicily Workshop 2024
w. Francesco Pruneddu & Signe Bay
AUTUMN IN SICILY WORKSHOP
24-28 OCTOBER 2024
CATANIA, ITALY
Join us at The Autumn in Sicily Workshop that will fuel you and give you a new path in your professional and creative life!
We will teach food and stillife styling and photography, food videography, we will indeed live next to the traditional food market ‘La Pescheria’, so market atmosphere, fresh produce and lots of photo opportunities are right at our feet.
We will make beautiful scenes in our palazzo to film and photograph, we will take you on wine and food tour in Catania and surroundings to visit one of the best producers of Sicilian wine with focus on documenting and creating beautiful imagery. We will eat the most delicious food you can ever imagine, and we will cook in the palazzo with our ‘nonnas’. This time, as the first ever, we will also include a tour to the Sunday antique Market in Catania to look for beautiful ceramics and props!
Besides sharing our knowledge about food and stillife styling, photography and videography, we will also talk about working as commercial and editorial photographers, about entrepreneurship, how to find your creativity and share our experiences as self-employed with you. We will gather and learn about each other and our paths in life. We will laugh. And maybe also cry a little, because that happens when you’re in Sicily. Big emotions and big times.
A Celebration of Life - La Dolce Vita
We will show you the hidden gems of the beautiful baroque city of Catania that Signe knows inside out. Signe has relatives in Catania and has come here for 25 years and she almost regards herself as more Sicilian than Danish and speaks the Sicilian dialect. Her connection to Italy runs deeper than mere admiration for its beauty and gastronomy. She finds resonance in the Italian way of life, which can also be seen in her work —a celebration of family, food, and ‘la dolce vita’. To her, being Italian isn't about nationality; it's a state of mind—a philosophy rooted in passion, creativity, and ‘gioa di vivere’, and together with Francesco from Sardegna we love to pass that passion on to our workshop students!
Palazzo Biscazzi shoot and Antique Market
This time we’ve extended the retreat with one day, so we now have 4 days to immerse ourselves, to explore, to learn and to be creative, as we included two new features; Antique market and a shoot in the baroque Palazzo Biscari!
For Whom
The workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about creativity. Maybe you are self-employed, working with food, flowers, interior, branding and PR. It could also be that you are a cook, blogger, dietician, graphic designer and want to upgrade your visual expression or need a creative and inspiring boost. Anyone of all levels are welcome, whether you capture with DLSR camera or phone or even draw on paper. We’ve had artists who came to study our styling and our take on natural light and shadows.
Our Guest Teachers
As always we bring our talented cook and food stylist Louise Bondebjer til the retreat and alongside our Italian cook, she will create and make sure that everything looks and tastes like a dream! Our digital assistant Alessandra Bartolini will assist us with everything digital - and much more. This will be her 4th retreat together with us. Our local assistant and family member Francesca will take of us all and everything logistical as she has done now on all our retreats in Sicily.
This year, for the very first time, we have a guest teacher and assistant Barbora Barectic and we are super proud and honored that she also wants to join us on this adventure!
A Complete Experience
The workshop is a complete experience from arrival to departure and seats are very limited. The enrollment fee includes single or double occupancy in the beautiful workshop palazzo, situated right in the centre of Catania, all meals, drinks, snacks, classes, training, workshop materials, excursions, and transportation during the retreat + a goodie bag on arrival.
We can’t wait to meet you soon! You will receive welcome letter with all workshop info and tips on Sicily and Catania one month prior to the workshop.
