A video showing on the net from this morning shows an artist talking about her experiences making art here in Barga during this summer at the Studio of Colour Etching run by Swietlan Kraczyna.
Katherine Goodwin talks about how much she enjoyed just not the classes run by Swietlan but also how much the city of Barga itself played such a large part in her creative processes.
