Comments about the Sculpture school

Stephan Rossi

‘For weeks I have been working on the same piece of marble and I am not tired of it yet! For me stone sculpting is a welcome distraction from my hectic everyday life and it offers me the opportunity to create a three-dimensional form. Studying the stone is a unique experience and is exciting and unusual. Here I am aware that I am slowing down, becoming enthusiastic, and at the same time I am surprised how quickly the shape of the stone changes through my work. At the Scuola di Scultura di Peccia I am developing my practical skills, my technical abilities and aesthetical appreciation under the professional guidance of competent course tutors. Every day I am learning something new about myself and I am letting myself be spoilt by the ‘Cucina Ticinese’ (local cuisine), preferably in the company of my ever helpful and cheerful colleagues on the course.’

People and encounters, stones, resistance and beauty, dust, noise, aching hands and exhausted arms, and space…this is Peccia. This distinctive ‘Peccia-feeling’ has stayed with me for a long time.
