Stone Oven House, an art residency nestled in the Italian Alps, offers various volunteering opportunities for individuals eager to immerse themselves in a creative and communal environment. The residency is located in Rorà, a mountain village in the Piedmont region, approximately 50 km southwest of Turin. This serene setting provides an ideal backdrop for artistic inspiration and cultural exchange. Volunteers at Stone Oven House engage in a range of activities that support both the artistic community and the maintenance of the residency’s facilities. Tasks include building, cleaning, farming/gardening, general maintenance, and assisting with hostel/hotel operations. The residency emphasizes a harmonious lifestyle with nature, offering volunteers the chance to learn skills such as baking bread, chopping firewood, making soap, growing vegetables, heating a stove, cleaning a fireplace, gathering herbs, identifying edible mushrooms, roasting chestnuts, preparing cement, building walls, crafting furniture, and living without reliance on social media. The work schedule typically involves 4-5 hours of assistance per day, five days a week, allowing volunteers ample time to engage in personal artistic pursuits or explore the surrounding natural beauty. Volunteers are provided with accommodation options that include private rooms, shared dormitories, or tents, depending on availability and preference. The residency primarily offers a vegetarian diet but occasionally includes meat; they can accommodate both vegetarians and vegans without issues. Living at Stone Oven House means embracing a lifestyle closely connected to nature, where volunteers can expect to gain a deeper understanding of natural elements and sustainable living practices.
