Fabulous

I booked it as an anniversary experience to enjoy a nice evening with my girlfriend, and I must say I didn't quite know what to expect, but I was completely convinced and satisfied with the course. The guides were nice and competent, spoke good English, and created a great atmosphere. They also gave us as much time as we needed to carve our symbol. 10/10 would do again.

Amazing time!

Absolutely amazing experience. The class was so much more than a simple marble sculpting class. It felt like a real introduction to art itself. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and took time to explain the history, theory, and meaning behind marble sculpting before guiding us through the hands-on process. What I loved most was that we were encouraged to create our own design rather than just copy something. The instructor was genuinely passionate about helping everyone bring their ideas to life. Working with marble was challenging but incredibly fun, and the atmosphere made it fun and approachable even for beginners. One of the highlights of my trip and something I’ll remember for a very long time. Highly recommend to anyone interested in art, creativity, or trying something truly unique.

A unique and wonderful experience

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time doing this. The host was knowledgeable and accommodating, and his assistant Daphne was absolutely amazing. Even though my carving wasn't very good she was relentlessly encouraging and provided lots of help asking with a good dose of humour. We never felt rushed through the process despite the fact that we ran past the scheduled end time. This was our favourite activity from our 5 days in Athens and I would highly encourage anyone who wants to try something uniquely Greek to consider this.

This was a nice exposure to marble carving/sculpting. The host and assistants were friendly and knowledgeable. They made everyone successful. We found the act of sculpting and chiseling to be relaxing.

A must do experience...

A must do experience while in Athens! The host was very knowledgeable and gave us history as well as a creative exercise to help us tap into our artist mind. Christina was so sweet and an excellent artist. She helped us create our sketches for our marble and was very hands on and encouraging through the whole experience. So grateful I gave this a try and now I have a one-of-a-kind souvenir to commemorate my time in Athens ! 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic marble sculpting evening

Fantastic evening spent learning how to carve in marble in a sculptor’s studio. Learnt about the history of the craft then designed and started carving my own marble head to bring home. Very kind and patient tutor.

Do it!!

Carve your own symbol into marble. Really fun and probably my favorite momento! There's something very special about making your own souvenirs. Plus, Dimitrius is very knowledge and helpful, he really emphasized personal connection to art.
