Long-term artistic immersion between sculpture, nature and inner process
14 / 21 days — limited places
These residencies are designed for artists, researchers, creatives and individuals seeking time, depth and transformation through artistic practice.
This is not a fast workshop or a touristic retreat.
It is a lived process shaped through sculpture, observation, nature, manual work and daily presence.
The focus is not only the final artwork, but the transformation generated through process, matter and time.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
• artists and sculptors
• creatives in transition
• researchers and long-term practitioners
• people seeking deeper artistic processes
• individuals interested in material, anatomy and observation
• beginners with strong motivation
• professionals needing time away from acceleration
THE PROCESS BEFORE THE PRODUCT
We believe artistic practice is not only about producing objects.
Working with marble, clay, drawing and observation becomes a way to slow down perception, deepen attention and reconnect with form, body and presence.
The residency is built around rhythm, continuity and direct contact with materials.
Guests are invited to enter a slower relationship with time, work and creativity.

TIME & RHYTHM
The residency follows a slower and more attentive rhythm.
Daily life alternates studio practice, observation, technical learning, dialogue, silence and time in nature.
We value continuity over intensity, presence over performance and process over speed.
LIVING & STUDIO ENVIRONMENT
The residency takes place in the Tuscan hills between Pietrasanta, Carrara and the sea.
Participants live and work in a natural environment surrounded by trees, silence and open space.
The studio is immersed in everyday artistic practice, where sculpture, observation and life coexist naturally.
Accommodation is simple, intimate and connected to the rhythm of the place.
APPLICATIONS
Each residency begins through direct contact and conversation.
Participants are selected according to motivation, artistic interest and openness to process.
