Please note, the workshop is not a separate course but is a part of our full-time program. It means that when you take the course you join the existing group of the students of a long-term program. However, as we valued 1 to 1 teaching and individual follow-up, each workshop student will receive the same amount of feedback and necessary assistance from the professor.
If there is a tour of the museum organised, the entrance fee is paid by the student, while professional guidance of the teacher is included in tuition. There is no class on days of Italian public holidays.
Tuition fee: 5.700 euro
