Art, nature, sculpture, inner exploration and life in Tuscany
Tuscany Stone Lab is not simply a place for short workshops, but a space for immersive and customizable experiences that can last a day, a weekend, a week or longer periods of residence.
At the heart of the project is the idea of creative permanence: living the place, working with materials, entering the artistic process and building a personal experience through sculpture, nature, territory and inner exploration.
Each experience can be shaped according to the season, the number of participants, the available time and personal interests.
Sculpture & Artistic Practice
Marble, wood and clay sculpture workshops for beginners and advanced participants, personal artistic projects, “sculptor for a day” experiences, intensive weeks and artistic residencies.
The artistic practice also includes life drawing, sketchbook in nature, plein air painting, clay modelling, wheel throwing and studies of form and mimesis.
Inner & Creative Paths
Creative and personal exploration through art therapy, creative writing, symbolic work with images and archetypes, awareness practices and individual sessions.
Some experiences can already be developed as structured journeys, including:
• Matter & Process
• Nature, Symbol & Creation
• Mimesis
Territory Experiences
Discovering Tuscany through its artistic and artisanal heritage:
Carrara marble quarries, Pietrasanta and its ateliers and foundries, artisan workshops, blacksmith experiences, villages, landscapes and local traditions.
Nature, Herbs & Sensory Walks
Experiences connected to the Tuscan landscape and traditional knowledge: plant recognition, herb gathering, drying techniques, natural preparations, oils, creams, herbal infusions and sensory walks.
The experience may also include walking meditation and forest bathing practices.
Food, Hospitality & Retreats
Tuscan dinners, local tastings, sunset aperitifs, picnics in nature, cooking experiences connected to art and meetings with local farmers.
The project also includes short and long stays, artistic residencies, retreats and seasonal accommodation possibilities.
Tailor-Made Experiences
The experiences are not fixed packages, but flexible combinations that can become day experiences, weekends, immersive weeks or long-term residencies.
Prices may vary depending on the season, accommodation, duration, number of participants and additional activities or extras.
