Taking a class at Geko is a must for artists visiting Florence. The one-on-one classes maximize your learning and make for a great experience.

Amazing experience for my teenage son

We actually did a day trip from Rome to Florence for this class. My 14-year-old son had an amazing time. He can sometimes be reluctant about the arts, but loves working with his hands so this was perfect. Incredibly friendly staff. Very welcoming. Great teacher. We would definitely do this again!

Such a great time!

This was such a great experience!! I felt like Michelangelo working in the studio LOL. They were so nice and very helpful when I was taking the bus over (which by the way was so easy and drops you right in front of the studio!). I had a great time; thank you!

A guarantee..always

We stayed with them 6 years ago and finally returned to Florence and booked a workshop with them again, this time with a Michelangelo theme. My 18- and 21-year-olds had a great time and learned so much about sculpture. Octavio and the Geko are always a guarantee for every time we return to Florence. Special mention also to Rosanna's impeccable organization with schedules, taxis etc. Thank you very much

An excellent beginner sculpting class

We had such a wonderful afternoon sculpting class at Geko Studio. They were able to fit us in on short notice and work around our schedule. The class itself was well instructed and made us beginners feel comfortable! It gave us a completely new appreciation for the art we spent hours admiring the days before!! Can’t recommend them enough! We will definitely come back for more classes when visiting Firenze in the future!

For people who like to have a fresh look into old master’s work

Very friendly and special time together where we able to be working on the same task together (mother, father and daughter). We had even tasty home-made food and cake and were able to bring home a souvenir reminding us of the great master Michelangelo. Thank you!

WOW

Wow! What an incredible experience! It was difficult at first but Octavio was such a great teacher and guided me each step of the way. I’ve always admired sculpting and have been awestruck by the statue of David, but it was only after doing this class that I gained a whole new understanding and appreciation of the work, artistry and patience it takes to produce such masterpieces. Will definitely be back to take another class!
