Summary

In this weekly workshop, you will have the opportunity to create a "waist direct". This is a three-dimensional object, a sculpture, which is created without a template, without a model and without pressure. The stone guides you. You engage in a creative process and find a form that is right for you. You enter into a dialog with the stone and acquire basic craftsmanship skills.
Drawing and sculptural exercises will help you to train your artistic imagination. Advanced students have the opportunity to work on their own projects. A well-equipped sculpture studio and an outdoor work area are available. Stones can be purchased here. (steatite or alabaster)
This is an all-inclusive offer with 5 nights' accommodation and meals.
