ArtsPAD

The Arts PAD is a group of artists offering courses in stained glass, mosaics, photography and languages throughout the year. Our home and studios are based about 7 km from Orvieto, in the town of Porano. All our courses can be offered in English or Italian and as well as learning more about your art, there’s also the opportunity to improve your English or Italian.

There are spectacular views from our home and the area around is stunning – perfect for an artist or photographer. The house-mates fun and friendly and the atmosphere perfect for creating and feeling inspired. There’s lots of room, plenty of food from our allotment, skill, passion and great opportunities for learning and mastering your craft.
