Garda at First Light
The eastern shore before the traffic wakes, when the lake is a sheet and the road belongs to whoever got up.
Atelier access
Inside the Atelier
A morning in a working Verona workshop, watching a frame be made and asking the questions you have always wanted to ask.
Frames are not built in front of audiences, so this is not a demonstration staged for visitors. It is a small group standing in a working shop on a working morning, close enough to see the flux go glassy, with the person doing it willing to stop and explain.
You will leave understanding why a hand-built steel frame costs what it costs, and probably wanting one. Nothing on this morning is a sale, and the club takes no part in what you decide afterwards.
