COLLECTIVE STAGE
The collective stage allows to approaching the first elements of the techniques in the artistic workmanship of stone. The group composition ranges from 8 to 10 and each collective course requires a minimum of 8 participants. This stage is a real apprenticeship where you can realize your own project being followed and taught by a professional sculptor craftsman.
During the course, you can ask the professional craft man to teach you the pointing up system. The “cross-technique” will allow you to translate the shape of a model into marble. For this purpose, we recommend you to prepare your own model made of a hard matter such as plaster in order to fit the standard cm. 40 x 40 x 40 block included in this offer. Or you can rent one of the plasters from the Nicoli Collections; rental condition must be agreed separately with the Direction. Or else participants can present prior to stage confirmation a preliminary project through sketches, plaster maquette, Cad files or similar indicating the sizes required for the project and s/he will find the marble block cut and roughed out to exact size at his/her arrival. In this way, you can take advantage of the stage and have the best chance to realize your own creation during your stay. The extra cost of the marble will be calculated apart. If you prefer you can practice the direct carving techniques involving a certain degree of improvisation on the stone block, and avoid learning the pointing system.
