The artspace sculpting workshops are held in the Pietrasanta area, a reknowned international center for artists working in marble and bronze. Here the centuries old tradition of fine marble carving and close interaction between craftsman and artist contribute to providing the perfect environment for a unique learning experience for sculptors of all levels.

In the intensive workshops held from May to October, all aspects of the carving process are extensively explored as each participant plans, executes and finishes at least one sculpture. All students are given a block of Carrara statuary marble and all tools are provided.

The workshops are open to sculptors of all levels and are limited to small groups of no more than ten (10)participants, which allows for individual instruction and guidance during all phases of the sculpting process. In addition to carving, integral parts of the workshop include the stimulating discussions of art theory, group and individual critiques, demonstrations by Pietrasanta master artisans, and field trips to marble and mosaic studios, bronze foundries, museums and exhibitions in Pietrasanta.
