From the moment you enter the classroom, you are welcomed by the staff to a small room, small enough to have a private space but large enough for your creativity to roam free. You are guided step by step through the process and any questions that you have are welcomed and answered by knowledgeable instructors. The process of creating your piece of art is calming and a way to slow down and just appreciate your abilities. When you take your break between the class, you are rewarded with a satisfying pastry. I recommend that you take this class because it is a way to slow down, enjoy art, and be educated on the type of art you work on. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Very professional and inspiring drawing sessions! The 6 hours over two days were perfectly paced — our 11-year-old loved it. The instructor was patient, kind, and truly encouraging. Now they’ll continue online, and the real miracle is that they met through art!
I had a private drawing workshop with Octavio in the cute Geko studio. It was a fun experience and I learned a lot. I hope to come back another time.
Geko art studios was excellent at providing me all the information in advance to be prepared for my class. The day of the class they even provided me with transit instructions. Katherina provided patient, clear instructions to help me maintain confidence in a new creative process. It was a lot of fun and I will come again when I return to Florence!
Me and my family had a wonderful time learning the techniques from Leonardo da Vinci. The place was very inspirtional with many sculptures and paintings. My children and I were able to draw a nice portrait and my wife was able to improve her drawing skills!! Will defo recommend this workshop to anyone!
Geko art studio is amazing. Solo classes give you the best learning experience. In the a couple of hours, I learned and practiced so much.
I signed my daughter up for this class. She’s a pretty good abstract painter, but she wants to learn realism. She enjoyed this class.
My son and I had an incredible opportunity to learn new tips for how to draw. Great teacher and communicator. We walked away with masterpieces. Thank you!
Octavio was a great guide and teacher for the Leonardian Drawings class. Rosanna did a great job as a host in the organization department and made me feel very comfortable in the studio. Thanks to both of them for such an amazing experience!
