The Grem Bike Hostel in Premolo, Italy, is proud to host British Artist Paul Smith, who will lead a two-day sculpture masterclass on the creation of human and animal figures in clay.
PROGRAM

Heads and horse: after an introduction to Paul’s work, we will start by making a few small clay heads. Then, after a short demonstration, we will each make a clay horse.
