Such beauty… but I’m still stuck on when to use tavolo and when to use tavola

The best way I can explain it (as a non-native Italian! so if there are any Italian's reading this, please do correct me if I'm wrong) is that 'tavolo' is the noun, referring to the physical table, while 'tavola' refers to the table as a place of dining and being together...the feeling and experience of the table as opposed to the physical object

Beautiful close-ups.

Tiles are never just a surface — the glaze, grout, pattern, reflection, and small imperfections all create their own rhythm.

So much character in such small pieces.

Going to one of Kate's retreats is a bucket list item for me (although not in my near future), and I would have loved going to one where you are co-presenting, so I hope this will become a regular thing!
