Marble Carving Workshop: Create Your own Symbol of Strength

Create your own symbol of strength-relief, in marble! Discover the traditional way to carve as the Ancient Greeks sculptures with traditional hand tools. The program is aimed also at beginners.
MarbleArt is a local Boutique Μuseum, dedicated to marble sculpture and traditional stone carving. Its collection features authentic works by local artists, created exclusively with traditional Greek hand tools.

The MarbleArt workshop takes place in a truly artistic environment, devoted to creative expression through Greek marble. This is not a technical or craft-based workshop—it offers a unique cultural and artistic experience. Here, you will create original works of art, inspired by ancient Greek sculpture.

The workshop is offered to small groups of up to 4 people, ensuring personal guidance, a high-quality experience, and the calm, private atmosphere required for true artistic creation. Every session is a deeply personal, creative process, in a thoughtfully curated space where art meets history.

Below are the stages of the workshop.

1. Reference to historical information about marble and stone carving with traditional hand tools.

2. Structure of materials: rocks, marble, crystals and eventual enrichments thereof with metals or fossils.

3. To start, there will be a discussion and presentation on humanity's relationship with personal symbols in stone and marble, illustrated by examples like the Cycladic idols.

4. Becoming familiar with hand tools and learning how to use them for engraving.

5. Support regarding the drawing of the subject and then its transferring on the surface of the marble.

6. Next, traditional sculpture follows with hand tools, exactly as it was carried out in ancient Greece. The themes processed by the "artists" are rendered in engraved and relief- like forms with deepening on the surface of the marble, (multi-level for highlighting light and shadow).

7. Engraving letters for the signature of the creator.

8. Applying color to the marble surface to create a patina-like effect.
