Master Workshops
Upcoming Workshops • Previous Workshops
TIAC organizes workshops with some of the greatest living Fine Art Masters, aimed at very serious students and established artists. So far we have run workshops in Spain, Italy and China held by the famous Spanish Masters Antonio Lopez-Garcia and Golucho, and Norwegian Master Odd Nerdrum.
We have also run much more specific and technical workshops such as the Old Master Workshops, taught by art conservator Dr. Daniella Serrano Serrano, aimed to share some precious European heritage about materials, chemistry and techniques used by some of most admired European painters.
Note: In late 2018 the Master Workshop program will begin to be opened up to a wider audience, so if you are interested in studying with any of the masters below, please subscribe to our mailing list below to be kept up to date, or follow us on social media TIAC Instagram or TIAC Facebook
