This course is designed for those who are approaching marble for the first time, with or without prior sculptural experience.

You will work exclusively by hand, using traditional tools—mallet, chisel, tooth chisel, rasp—to shape your own small-scale project.
The focus is on learning the fundamental steps of stone carving, in a slow, mindful rhythm that connects your gesture to the material.

Depending on your chosen duration (from a single day to several weeks), you will be guided through all key stages of the process:

• Reading and choosing the marble block

• Transferring the reference (image, drawing or model)

• Roughing out the form

• Refining volumes and lines

• Surface treatment and final hand polishing

You may choose to:

• Work from a simple classical model from our collection (such as an eye, mouth, ornamental relief),

• or create a personal piece starting from your sketch, a photo, or a clay maquette.

This is not just a technical introduction: it’s a hands-on, sensorial, and artistic immersion into one of the oldest sculptural practices on Earth.
