Become a travellling fresco painter for a day
How many times have you admired the frescoes in churches and castles or on the facades of townhouses? In Šentjošt you have the opportunity to turn from being an observer to a creator of these historical painting techniques. Try your hand at painting frescoes using the same method and the same materials as used by medieval artists throughout Europe, ancients in Pompeii or Egyptians in old Egypt. You can create your own fresco or perhaps even try to recreate one of your favourites that impressed you while visiting Slovenia's churches or castles. You will become familiar with the simple and natural technique of painting, which brought travelling artists here 600 years ago from Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy. You too can become a travelling fresco artist!
