I’m an artist with a true vocation and motivation for teaching, and I’m looking for a passionate and motivated intern to join me on my creative journey this May and June. Are you ready to carve some gemstones?
You will live in my home, share my studio, and work alongside me to develop my new series of work. Besides this, you will have the unique opportunity to help on organising and assist the Week-stone carving retreat at PEDRA casa estudi I am planning for May.
