Top Cyclades Islands Craft Classes

Grapes have grown and potters have worked on Santorini for thousands of years. Unleash your creativity and connect to the landscape and its heritage during this intimate experience that pairs local wines and spirits with the fine art of crafting clay on the potter’s wheel. Start with a winery tour and tasting; continue to create a piece of pottery; stay fueled with local wines, cheese, and liquor as you work.

A vacation is the perfect time to enhance your creativity. Travel back through Santorini’s layers of time on this private wood-carving class led by a local sculptor in the cave gallery where he exhibits his works. Hear the history of wood carving, learn how to use tools to create shape and form, then carve an object inspired by the ancient Cycladic art that influenced artists including Picasso and Henry Moore.

Traditional crafts are hard to learn as a visitor, without a maker to show you the tools and techniques hands-on. Join a private workshop in the village of Megalochori, working alongside a woodcarver in their gallery to make a piece of your own. Along the way, you pick up the history and methods behind the craft, at your own pace with the maker's full attention.
