Workshops In Tuscany - Stone Sculpting in Tuscany

Stone Sculpting in Tuscany Michelangelo did it, Da Vinci did it, Bernini did it and the other Italian artists that defined the art of stone sculpting did it all right here in Tuscany. Now it's your turn to put chisel to stone and release what your mind's eye already knows is there. This workshop is designed for beginning to intermediate level students and is defiantly 'Hands On". Your instructor will guide you through the process from concept to completion. Each student will go home with their own work and a basic set of tools.
