Octavio is a perfect teacher
He is patient, explains well, leads your eye to important lines
Everybody who visits Florence should go to those lessons with Octavio. I can only recommend them.
During a little rest Octavio and his wife offered refreshments and biscuits. They both gave me a very warm welcome in the Gelo Art Studio.
Just go and have this wonderful experience too!

Great workshop! Octavio is a patient teacher, having taught us the basic skills of clay modelling. I found it fascinating to learn the structured and well explained approach leading to wonderfull result in three hours. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience! Favorite thing we did in Florence. The whole family had so much fun trying to make the eye of David through clay modeling…. Great teacher and the whole family has much more appreciation for the art of sculpting! If you do anything in Florence - book this experience!

This clay modelling session was a great experience! The teacher was very experienced, patient, and always supportive. For a “first timer”, this was important. He’s also a new dad, so I got to meet his beautiful baby! I highly recommend this experience for anyone who loves art and wants to learn some traditional techniques.

Amazing class with Octavio. He was very good at explaining the sculpting technique and I really enjoyed my time at the studio.
They had some snacks during our mid-class break which was pleasantly unexpected.
Such a unique experience for such a unique city. I highly recommend it!

I was in Florence a couple days and I decided to do a workshop with the sculptor Octavio Palomino. I appreciated very much the high level of the instructor focused on traditional training practices from the original ateliers of the Renaissance. High quality! High recommended!

Really cool experience and great for the family. We had zero experience with clay modeling but with the help of the instructor all models came out pretty well, if I may say so myself. Lol. Also We booked the tour for four (2 youths) but also had our 5year old. The instructor politely set up a small table and allowed her to make her own little model. Highly recommended!
