For people who like to have a fresh look into old master’s work - Very friendly and special time together where we able to be working on the same task together (mother, father and daughter).
We had even tasty home-made food and cake and were able to bring home a souvenir reminding us of the great master Michelangelo. Thank you!

WOW - 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!

I can’t imagine being in Florence and not doing this! - 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 learned so much in a fre hours - 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!

Amazing Art Experience With Octavio!! - 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!
