Today we arrived in Pietrasanta, a small town near the Mediterranean Sea where our sculptures will be put on display. When we got here (after our bus got a flat tire on the freeway), we were able to see the gallery space where our pieces will be set up. Afterwards, we toured a foundry where they make bronze sculptures. We then had some free time to wander around the center of Pietrasanta before heading to the monastery where some of us are staying. It has been refurbished to be more like a hostel, but much of the original architecture is still in place. We each get our own little room, but we all share a bathroom. After staying at the hotel for a bit, we were able to go see a business that creates marble sculptures based on both contemporary and ancient designs.
Tomorrow I will get to see what my sculpture looks like when it's installed in the gallery. I am very excited.
