Global Stone Workshop® in Danang, Vietnam

The workshop in marble and granite starts on February 20, 2012. The cost for one week is 160 to 220 USA depending on the standard of the room.

Since 2003 the Danang Sculpture Foundation has been a meeting point for international sculptors and Vietnamese stone carvers. So far, 10 European sculptors have frequently used our facilities with the help of our skilled carvers. They have also assisted sculptors at various sculpture symposiums in Vietnam. The main force behind the carvers' skills development is the Norwegian sculptor, Mr. Øyvin Storbækken. He took the initiative to establish the Center together with the Fine Art Association of Danang City.

The Center is located at the Non Nuoc village in Danang City of Vietnam. This village, under the famous Marble Mountains, is renowned among both Vietnamese and foreigners for its traditional stone carving. We work on a non-profit basis for the development of sculpture in Vietnam, focusing on training poor and disadvantaged youth in the art of carving and sculpturing and organising cultural exchanges between Vietnamese and international sculptors.

We welcome professional sculptors all over the world to work at our site throughout the year, in an area of long history of stone carving, nearby the beach with countryside life, small seafood restaurants and a market. We provide workshop, materials, equipment and tools for sculptors to work with or without the assistance of our carvers. We also provide accommodation next to the workshop with self - service kitchen, air - conditioner, bathroom and living room (2 double rooms and 1 single room). Some other supporting services are picking up at the airport, help to arrange trips to interesting places in Danang city (Cham Museum, Marble Mountains, Non Nuoc beach, etc.) and in neighboring provinces (the three world heritages in Central Vietnam including the ancient town of Hoi An, the old imperial capital of Hue and the Holy Sanctuary of My Son) and to some places relating to sculpture such as wood carving, silicon casting, bronze casting, etc. at sculptors' requests.
