Period: Sep 2, 2019 - Sep 27, 2019

I’m Laverene from beautiful Singapore, where we have hot summer 365 days a year. Arts have always been my passion, and I am really glad that I made the move to come over and join the summer intensive course in fantastic Florence. I graduated in fashion design and worked in the fashion industry, and now it’s time for me to pursue further my love for jewelry making.

A picture of myself at Rooster Cafe. Lovely ambience, food and staffs were super friendly! While I was appreciating an art work on the wall, one of the staffs pop over and introduce that the work was done by his mum. He also shared with me an artwork published for his mum’s work. Superb experience!
