Welcome to the Rudolf Steiner Painting School

We offer training in artistic and therapeutic painting based on the new impulses given by Dr. Rudolf Steiner (1861- 1925), and on the colour research of the painter Gerard Wagner (1906-1999) who spent a lifetime working out of Rudolf Steiner’s indications.
