Rental space
The rental of
work space
is a service designed specifically for sculptors and potters, both beginners and experts, who wish to rent our spaces to work on their projects independently.
Those who do not wish to follow a training course can use the "living and working at the same site" formula to rent accommodation and space in the plaza to sculpt or a space in the workshop to decorate ceramics/model clay. The environment will be the same as that of those who benefit from the teaching and technical assistance of a professor: Arco Arte's studio in Carrara. Art , its history and tradition cannot be separated from the location.
