About
Studio Scribano is a sculpture initiative offering regular life sculpture workshops in London and annual sculpture retreats on the island of Spetses, Greece. At its heart, Studio Scribano is a space built by and for community, where fostering a warm, inclusive, and generative environment is our highest priority.
Our classes begin with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of sculpting from life, building a thorough understanding of gesture, proportion, anatomy, and material. Students are then supported in developing their own voice, expanding their skills, and exploring new directions in their sculpture practice.
Our workshops and retreats are designed to be valuable for students of all levels, from first time sculptors to working artists. We look forward to seeing you there!
