MARBLE AND LIMESTONE WORKSHOP
The Centro Internacional de Escultura (C.I.E) is a cultural organization open to artists from all nationalities and to the public in general. We aim to create the conditions for the development and appreciation of Portuguese Sculpture, materials and techniques. We promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences through a dialogue between Artists and Art Professionals.
By organizing stone carving courses, workshops, exhibitions and residencies, we have been building awareness to sculpture in a culturally interested public.
