MARINA DI CARRARA
MARBLE WORKSHOP
May – June and September – October
Master Carlo Andrei and Global Stone Workshop welcome groups of Artists and Students at STUDIO AMA Srl, now GA MARBLE, since 1994.
Master Andrei belongs to a family of stone experts who has helped many Italian and foreign sculptors through its six decades of activity.
GA MARBLE is a spacious, well-equipped studio located 300 meters from the sea and has splendid views over the Carrara marble quarries.
GA MARBLE is specialized in handcrafting all kinds of marble objects, such as copies of antique and modern statues, architectural details, fountains, etc.
There is hardly a need to highlight the usefulness of such an environment for sculptors who wish to improve their skills.
P.S. The fee depends on the number of Participants and the length of the workshop. Accommodations in a B&B are included. Please contact G.A. MARBLE Srl or GLOBAL STONE WORKSHOP for more specific details.
About Marina di Carrara
Carrara is located in the region of Tuscany, 110 km from Florence, 50 km from Pisa and 40 km from Lucca. There are innumerable opportunities for excursions and visits to national parks and historic towns… a bit stressful for those who want to sculpt without haste.
It is ideal to alternate sculpting with life on the beach with the sea nearby and temperate weather even in the summer.
Carrara is the site of the most active stone market in the world. Over 300 medium and large businesses are engaged in the quarrying, processing, and marketing of all kinds of stone.
