TRAINING COURSES

Professionalising training courses that usually last 3 to 4 intensive months and are designed for those who wish to approach this ancient craft. A unique experience where the alternation of heterogeneous master craftsmen makes it possible to best learn each specific traditional processing technique. These courses are held in collaboration with the Agenzia Formativa Copernico, therefore a certificate recognised by the Region of Tuscany is issued to participants on completion of the training.

CUSTOMIZED SCULPTURE COURSE

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to try their hand at working with alabaster.
In this course, you’ll not only get to know the material, but also learn the basic techniques and methodologies needed to begin working in three dimensions, both in relief and in the round, with specific sculptural knowledge. Throughout the course, you’ll be closely monitored by your instructor, who will develop a personalized program tailored to your needs.

WORKSHOPS

Our educational workshops are meant for tourist groups, students of any level or course, families and single participants.
The workshop represents an exclusive opportunity to acquire the main notions of alabaster crafting, conveyed in about 2 hours by the master craftsperson through the creation of a small object that each participant can keep as a memento of this experience.
