I’ll be giving a real account of, really, what you can expect from this experience, I feel.

First Impressions and the Allure of Florence

Florence! It is, very possibly, a city steeped in history, you know? You can find amazing food, like the tastiest pasta, seemingly, on every corner, still it’s more well known, like, because of its artistic legacy. Michelangelo, Donatello, and Brunelleschi have all, kind of, shaped this city with their work. Getting to be even just a small part of that legacy, seemed really appealing to me.

Walking those aged walkways, it felt, almost, like you were walking back through time. This class gave me, essentially, a rare chance to, like, not just observe this artistic atmosphere, still actually, truly, participate in it. My, very own, sculpture made in Florence? Like, totally iconic, I thought!

It might just be great for both beginners and more seasoned artists, like you, as the classes are, usually, adapted to, you know, varying skill levels. Do you plan on going?

On a given day, you might be greeted warmly and introduced, maybe, to the essentials of clay modeling. After a bit, the tutor, who may be a master sculptor, can start with demos of the methods. Basically, don’t stress about knowing things, because the tutor does, apparently, adjust based on the varying level of sculptors present. Typically you start by creating a plaster bust of a living model. Like your clay taking real shape with some coaching from the master sculptors running the place.

All supplies and resources were included. You won’t be short of clay or, you know, the essential tools needed for modeling. At the end of the day, I thought they took care to develop an easy-going and fun atmosphere.

The Instructors: Passionate Guides

Right away, it became very clear to me that they loved sharing their skill and were, like, deeply committed to doing so, truly, too it’s almost palpable.

They created, seemingly, a truly motivational learning setting through giving tailored attention, be that how it may. Actually, they focus on helping you learn and, I thought, clearly focused on inspiring their artists. It really assisted me in the class to explore my abilities, if that’s alright, or to make the sculpture my own.

Going hands on is what I did! Under appropriate guidance from tutors, they help you find your inner sculptor, or at least bring it out a bit! Clay is very interesting to the touch and also is interesting with methods. Honestly, your instructor offers real time feedback, alright. It’s meant to give you a really amazing learning experience, which I think it delivered.

Each stroke and method becomes a step towards articulating your idea as you give your form shape! A few things you may discover are, for instance, the tools they can make use of in providing the texture and shape. Arguably, you could develop confidence rapidly in making, crafting and designing, in this safe zone of instruction, I find.
