Elisabeth De Coster - Le Mole sul Farfa
My love for Sabina and my desire to make this corner of peace my life, led me to move here from Belgium. Since 2008, I have been running our agriturismo 'Le Mole sul Farfa' with my husband Stefano. Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by everything that goes on in the kitchen: I would watch my grandmother baking cakes, peek at my mother when she was preparing jams, participate in the preparation of a big family lunch... Unmistakable flavours and aromas that encapsulate memories that are still vivid. Today at the farm I take care of the reception, organise and prepare breakfasts and dinners. I use local and seasonal products. I like to seek out and enhance the flavours

Your tutor
Karla Sotres - Geogrãfica Ceramica
I am a Mexican designer and ceramist in progress. My work focuses on the relationship between design and territories, as well as the registration and analysis of different individual or collective creative processes. My aesthetic research starts from any context and follows the principles of slow design. In 2014, I moved between the Sabine countryside and Umbria and made my home in Montebuono my workshop: this is where I follow the process of creation, teach and share my path, co-organise community projects and dedicate myself to my family.I chose the way of the earth because I believe it is an honest, sustainable approach of care, slowness and kindness.
