Wow! What an incredible experience! It was difficult at first but Octavio was such a great teacher and guided me each step of the way. I’ve always admired sculpting and have been awestruck by the statue of David, but it was only after doing this class that I gained a whole new understanding and appreciation of the work, artistry and patience it takes to produce such masterpieces. Will definitely be back to take another class!

Everything was great! From the beginning till the end… we had so much fun learning about sculpting with Octavio! It was special to enter an intimate studio in Florence and work our hands like the greats did, it brought so much perspective! I would 100% recommend. Very special place with a very special family!

I didn’t know that it was so hard for Michelangelo to make the David. I only made an eye of plaster and he made the whole sculpture out of marble. The teachers were both very nice!

Loved this class and Octavio is a fantastic teacher! This class is for any true art aficionado who wants to see Florence in a different light, by experiencing it! Sculpting is a fascinating way to understand the works of Michaelangelo and this class gave me a new appreciation for their works!!

Sono stata con i miei due figli di 16 e 19 anni e abbiamo partecipato al laboratorio di scultura in gesso dopo aver visitato il David da vicino...tutto estremamente a tema, estremamente interessante e molto interattivo..Abbiamo imparato tante cose (soprattutto non è scontato con due figli adolescenti..e loro si sono molto divertiti). Octavio il nostro maestro che ci ha seguito, è preparatissimo, paziente e con un ottimo metodo di insegnamento.. lo consiglio, non ve ne pentirete
