Tutors: internationally known and recognized textile artists who love to share their know-how.
Students: Textile artists, patchworkers, quilters and all those who love experimenting with textiles and new materials.
Creative seminars boost your creativity. The tutor explains new techniques and gives the input. This enables you to develop your own projects and to find your own voice. The number of participants is low (different for each seminar, depends on the subject and the tutor). This allows the tutor to spend more time with each student.
I'm excited by the incredible international mix of students (Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, England...). Due to the geographical close proximity to Italy and the common language (the official language in Ticino is Italian), many Italians take classes at TexArtAcademy. We thought this could maybe cause linguistic problems, but now we can see that exactly this is an advantage: students and tutors from the northern countries like the great linguistic variety and the "italianità" - the cheerful Italian way of life. As a bonus you can improve your knowledge of foreign language.
Tutors and students have their meals together, they get to know each other, they make friends and look always forward to meeting again in Ticino!
