What you can expect

During this one-of-a-kind experience, participants become marble sculptors by creating their own Cycladic idol relief — inspired by one of the earliest art forms of the Aegean world. In the heart of Athens, they will explore Cycladic civilization, learn about marble carving traditions, and master authentic hand tools through guided practice. This workshop offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and artistic expression. Participants take home their unique marble artwork, gaining hands-on experience in traditional techniques while immersing themselves in Greek culture.
