The Aesthetic Narrative Experience

A true, slow colour story….

Come and join me on a creative and personal journey as I walk you through the colours and aesthetic of my Ligurian - inspired home for a day of exploration and discovery.

See how heritage, place and identity can nurture colour choices to make unique and nostalgic spaces to live and grow in with purpose and meaning. Learn more about my scheme and how I achieved it as I reveal my influences and demonstrate my process.

Engage all your senses as we exchange ideas and have vibrant discussions about colour over a delightful lunch of authentic dishes from the Ligurian region, served in my rustico garden. This will be followed by a workshop where you can explore your own Aesthetic Narrative® through a guide I’ve crafted.

This experience promises to inspire you with fresh insights and practical tips on creating the essence of home through schemesthat nurture both the soul and the mind. It offers a unique perspective on the art of slow, biophilic design, aimed at cultivating timeless interiors that enhance identity and well-being.

In celebration of colour, narrative and well-being

A unique, guided experience day connecting people with memories, impressions and aspirations in a personal expression through the medium of colour.

This is an intimate insight into my English-Italian world of colour in an authentic setting - my home - as seen in the interiors press. Explore my eclectic layering of paint colours by Argile, furniture, textiles and decorative objects that weave a narrative through my aesthetic. As a small group, there is ample opportunity for everyone to ask questions and the sharing of an authentic Ligurian lunch - as much a part of the aesthetic experience - provides opportunity for the exchange of ideas that are later played with in a hands-on workshop.

Workshop Highlights

The Aesthetic Narrative® workshop is an opportunity for guests to examine their personal relationship with colour and discover how to cultivate ideas to develop a meaningful scheme at home. Theoretical notes are provided in a guided exercise with various paints. This event is ideal for anyone wanting to expand their approach to colour consultancy and interior design, or particularly interested in working with narratives.

Come and discover how colours can tell your story too.
