Experience Marble Carving
Overview
Inclusions
- Tools and supplies
- Coffee and/or Tea
- Bottled water
What to expect
I will have work tables, blocks of crystalline white marble of Naxos, and a sets of locally forged tools. I will share with you a brief history of marble arts, introduce different types of tools, and discuss the properties of marble and other stones. I will guide you thru the use and the traditional hand carving technique of each tool. You will practice with each tool on a block of marble for a period of time. When you have "mastered" each tool we will proceed to design and create a relief sculpture that you can then take home with you. It can be an Archaic Greek design from one of my templates or and idea that you have brought with you. I will work with you on the approach, process, and execution of the piece. It's a relaxed environment in the peaceful settings of our outdoor workshop in the nature.
After three hours of immersing yourself with the stone you will have an understanding of traditional carving techniques and process of marble sculpture. Absolutely no experience is necessary even if you are someone who says, "I have no artistic talent", the techniques and skills can be learned.

Vi er en familie med to børn (8/10) og vi havde en fantastisk oplevelse på Maggies marmorworkshop. Interessant at blive introduceret til teknikker og værktøjer. Børnene var vilde med det og var 100% koncentrerede i alle tre timer. Maggies have i sig selv er dejlig at opleve, smuk, stille og frodigt. Så hvis I skal have en anderledes oplevelse, hvor I også lærer noget historisk og kulturelt, er denne workshop fantastisk. Vi anbefaler at booke bord i landsbyen tæt på, vi var meget sultne efter workshoppen ☺️Wonderful experience with Maggie and Christos! A beautiful setting, skilled teachers, a gorgeous sunny afternoon, delicious fresh lemonade and cherries and fascinating history!

This was a fantastic and unique experience. We brought our 9 and 11 year old kids and they had a great time as well. The event is at a shaded outdoor artist’s studio. You pick your carving stones, are shown how to use the tools, and then get started on the design of your choice. The host helps you along the process to ensure a good outcome. Maggie was an excellent host and was flexible with our start time due to a delayed flight. She even provided some refreshing food and wine at the end. Highly recommended!!
