Description

Hello from Athens, my name is Giorgos and I recently graduated from the marble school of fine arts in Tinos island. By my side in this experience will be Georgia, who also has a degree from the marble school of fine arts in Tinos, and now she is studying in the Fine Art school of Athens, in sculpting section. Our love for marble created the need for this experience. The general idea is to introduce you to the world of marble, a material that has always been important for our civilisation. The purpose is to get in touch with the tools, their use and to carve simple words such as your names or other words you may want to carve on marble as a remembrance. Throughout the duration of the experience, me and my partner, will be by your side and we will help you by providing instructions and informations, guiding, about the techniques so you can learn the first steps for handmade marble carving. In our house there is an inside workshop where we can work regardless of weather conditions. The very best part is we will communicate, work, and we will inform you about the kinds of marble, tools, and structure of the material.

Includes

In this activity we will create a souvenir in marble in a size that you can take in your luggage. We provide tools, safety equipment, and positive energy for a unique experience. We also provide coffee and snacks during the experience. The workshop is located in a quiet environment in nature in a suburb of Athens to get away from the bustle of the city center, and see what life is like on the outskirts of Athens.
