class in a studio in florence italy THE FLORENCE ART STUDIO The Florenceart.net
studio is located in a charming ex-monastery, near the ancient town of Anghiari
in southern Tuscany. Our independent artist's studio has been active for over 15
years and throughout this time we have produced many commissions and held
courses with students visiting this historic region from all over the world. The
studio was formerly on Via della Scala, in the historical Palace of the Riblet
Bargagli Petrucci in the center of Florence, but moved in 2022 to the new
location in the countryside. For those who cannot travel to Italy, we have new
online videos for beginners or professional artists to learn art virtually.
Classical and Contemporary OUR SPECIALITIES We specialize in antique artisan
techniques and skills such as gilding, trompe l'oeil, grisaille, fresco,
sgraffito, and grottesca decoration. We create artworks and decoration for
interiors, harpsichords, and furniture. We produce fine furniture finishes and
decorative art for the interior design industry worldwide. In the past we have
created designs for fabric, stencils and original interior decoration. Please
see our Commissions page for examples of our past work. We love sharing our
knowledge of these authentic techniques. Throughout the year, we hold art
workshops and retreat courses from our studio and in stunning locations in
Tuscany, teaching gilding, decorative painting, mural decoration and lime fresco
