This is such a unique experience. A private art workshop in a working art studio. I am a complete novice, and the artist was kind and generous with his advice and support. And I have a true talking point souvenir to take home. Thank you for taking me into your home and your studio for the morning

My 19-year-old son is an art student in NYC and really wanted to take a couple lessons locally while visiting Florence. We were lucky enough to find Octavio and Geko Studio to make this happen. He spent two 3-hour sessions with Octavio and another instructor (Diana) learning and drawing under their guidance. He loved the hours spent there and learning new ways of thinking about traditional anatomy-focused drawing. The studio is about a half-hour walk on the other side of the river in a quieter neighborhood which we all appreciated. He’s hoping to one day return to take a formal structured course. This experience was absolutely the highlight of his trip and made Florence a very special place for us all.

I had a very good time at the Geko Art Studio. They were very accommodating, friendly and informative. It was the best interactive activity I did in Florence!

Wonderful! One-on-one art lesson with a professional. I love sketching anyway, so this was a fun add-on. The studio is lovely, and the area we used was perfect. She taught a specific method of sketching and transferring which was used in creating the frescoes of the renaissance. Awesome - and the results were amazing. I will repeat the method at home. The session lasted 3 hours - and time evaporated. We also enjoyed a delicious snack prepared by the owner. I brought my drawing home and will frame and hang when I get time. Great experience with attentive, knowledgeable, interesting people. Highly recommend.
