Here’s my thoughts: In this course, I have felt my creative process profoundly deepen and extend into realms previously uncharted within my imagination.
This comment from a recent student illustrates well the intensity of the experience of “Freedom and Structure in the Creative Process”. The online course is designed to explore and activate the creative mind. Over a time span of 11 months there are monthly meetings with discussion, exchange and assignments. Each participant is guided by Isabella Fazzo and further stimulated by guest lecturers and peers, resulting in a unique experience of spiritual and personal growth, alongside the technical content. The 2024/25 course has ended in January with an hands-on workshop and final show at La Meridiana. Now the 2025/26 edition is sold out, but if interested, stay tuned for the opening of registration in June, for the course starting in March 2026.
There can be no better words to describe the experence than what a former student says:
About the Mentor, Isabella Fazzo
It is rare to find a mentor. I found an excellent teacher in Ms. Fazzo. She embodies the true character of an artist who can also lead mentorship. She is a candid and sensitive artist, a true listener, a deep, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide.
About the on-line process:
The structure of the on-line process was perfect. Most of the meetings started with a topic that Ms. Fazzo presented to us for about an hour. It led to a discussion and better understanding of different aspects of the creative process. Every session included also a brief presentation of our work so far, showing work in progress. The group discussion and the observations of Ms. Fazzo were always and important factor to the progress. The personal meetings on-line were something I looked forward to. Ms. Fazzo clever and sharp eye led to interesting and energizing discussions.
About the workshop on La Meridiana:
The studio and the  facilities are so beautiful! It is a privilege to come every morning to this stunning Tuscan gem. That alone created the first drive to work.Ms. Fazzo created a structure to every day, leading us in confidence from one stage to another. Within the structure all was possible. I found myself working morning to night with immense creative force and enjoying every moment. I add that not always a good process on-line translates to such a fantastic course face to face.
