    Highlights

    • Learn about local marble and traditional hand carving techniques
    • Enjoy a sculpture workshop where no artistic experience is needed

    Description

    Join a renowned French sculptor who now resides in Paros, for an exclusive 3-hour marble carving experience at his private workshop near Kambos village. Under his expert guidance, you will have the opportunity to craft your very own unique piece of sculpture using the famed Parian marble. Throughout the lesson, you will explore various marble sculpture techniques, including the 'taille directe' and the use of advanced tools such as power tools, pneumatic chisels, diamond discs, and Dremel tools, all provided on-site.

    Select your stone from the atelier, choosing between Parian "Lychnitis" or Naxian "Crystalina" marble. After cleaning and preparing your stone, you will learn how to 'read' its natural form, then shape and refine your design, bringing it to life through the traditional art of marble carving. The experience culminates in polishing your creation to perfection. Immerse yourself in the timeless tradition of marble sculpture and remember: Marble is eternal, and now it is your turn to leave your mark in time.

    Unique experience

    August 6, 2024

    It was fantastic! Jean-Baptiste Leullier, the French sculptor, was super friendly and made learning about marble carving so much fun. We each got to create our own souvenirs (the quality of mine surprisingly good even if I do say so myself lol), and the whole experience was really hands-on and enjoyable. And great value for money! Really something different and enjoyable. If you’re in Paros and looking for a unique activity I really recommend Jean Baptiste.
