Stone in Spain is a week-long sculpting holiday for people who would like to try for the first time, or improve their current stone carving skills. Run from the village of Fortià in northern Spain, (two hours north of Barcelona) in an area with a long artistic history including Dalí and Miró.( see “Local Area”.)
The base for Stone in Spain is Hotel Ave de Paso. Run by musician Franz van der Geenen and actress Regina Sigrist, Ave de Paso is a small hotel with a really comfortable, friendly atmosphere. The couple are accustomed to being overrun by artists and musicians as many of the local artistic talent congregate there on a weekly basis to jam together and talk.
The hotel has its own pool and bar where we party and exhibit our work at the end of the week with the in-house band.
Your teacher is Natalie Staniforth. Having previously worked in the film industry, (including Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings), Natalie has a very high level of technical ability combined with a love of teaching. She currently runs weekly classes in the local area for both adults and children.
With 12 years as a professional sculptor (including Public art commissions in London and Surrey), and 4 years teaching experience, Natalie is well prepared to set you on the right track to finding both your skills and own style as a sculptor.
