Marble sculpture courses with accommodation

At my Studio in Balbano, in the countryside of Lucca, I organize personalized and individual Courses to learn marble working techniques.

Depending on the availability of those interested, the course can be a 1-week or 2-week package that includes:

  • Provision of all necessary equipment

  • Marble block

  • Constant supervision

  • Independent accommodation (max. 2 people)

Anti Covid-19 measures

Due to the close proximity during the course and taking into account the Italian Law 105/2021, participants are required to have the Green Pass with full vaccination or equivalent certification if not EU citizens

The working techniques will start with the manual use of chisels and sledgehammers for chiselling, moving on to the use of a jackhammer, grinders for finishing and final hand sanding.

The use of cutting discs, for safety reasons, will not be possible. If needed, I will do the cutting myself.

Classes are normally held in the morning from 9.00 to 13.00 with Sunday free. In the afternoon participants can continue their work independently or visit Lucca and its beautiful surroundings.
