LIVE STREAM EVENT | Sculpting in Tuscany
Presented by Marco Klee Fallani
With Additional Commentary by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Join celebrated artist Marco Klee Fallani, direct from his studio in the heart of Chianti, Tuscany, for a live stream clay sculpture class. Marco will address the freshness of modeling only by hand and using simple wooden tools for details. By leaving gestures in the clay, as if the work were a fast charcoal sketch, you will learn to capture the moment of the creative process, producing a 3-dimensional object that carries the mark of making. Marco will use clay without any structure or armature inside to make it easier to hollow and eventually fire.

Optional studio materials:
- Clay
- Clayboard

The live stream will include a 45-minute sculpture demonstration followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.

Please note:

Your participation is confirmed once you have purchased your ticket. You will receive the Zoom link to join the presentation circa 30 minutes before the start time.
VIDEO RECORDING of the live virtual sculpture demonstration will be available for unlimited streaming at your convenience for 7 days after the event.

In 2013 He was commissioned a large sculpture for the main square in the city of Arezzo. ‘Hope and Faith’ is an annunciation dedicated to the art of Piero Della Francesca. In August 2015, Fallani was invited by Viacheslav Zarenkov and the Creative World Organization of Saint- Petersburg, Russia, for ‘Saint-Petersburg through the Eyes of Contemporary Artists’. All paintings were donated to the organization.
