Demonstration of basic materials and techniques for mixing paints from period pigments. An overview of what was happening in Florence in the 15th century. I'll touch on politics, wars, commerce and culture. If time permits I'll cover how to spot a Florentine in garb. A class for people who want to consider an Italian personae or just want to boarden their view of Renaissance Europe.
Handouts are limited.
This class assumes you know how to cook, how to decipher period recipes, and want to be the head chef at an event. This class teaches how to run your kitchen and crew so that feasts are completed on time, are sent to the tables hot, etc. This is for new chefs.
