Pietrasanta the city of art, where artists from all over the world come to create

and learn about sculpture. This ancient cultural centre is situated at the foot of

the Apuan alpes three kilometers from the Mediterranean shores in the north

of Tuscany. Here in this small city you can find specialists to assist in making

sculptures in many materials: specially in stone and bronze.

There are various types of stone studios in the city: studios where only artisans

are working executing commissions and orders, and studios where only artists

are working on their own creative work. In Studio Lapis we provide the possibility

for either individual work or working with an artisan. There are artisans who are

working on commissions and can do sculptures in any type of stone. These

specialists can help the artists with the actual carving and with technical assis -

tance. They can also answer any questions concerning technique. Artists who

wish to work on their own piece can simply rent studio space and work on what-

ever they wish. We encourage students and people of all ages to come and

either learn how to carve or to refine their existing experience and knowledge.

Studio Lapis is directed by Anat Golandski, an Israeli sculptress who has lived

and worked in Pietrasanta for about 20 years. The lessons can be given in He-

brew, English and Italian. During the school year other visiting artists give cour-

ses in sculpting with clay, painting and paper-maché.
