Top Naxos Art Classes

Come to our beautiful garden that has been in my family for generations. I will introduce you to the basic of creating mosaics using all natural crystalline marble and granite pebbles collected from the local beaches of Naxos just as the Ancient used to. Design inspiration may come from archaic motifs. Work from our samples or bring your own ideas. Alternatively learn hand carving of marble and sculpture techniques. I will provide a worktable, a block of Naxos white marble for practice, a small stone for a relief carving, safety glasses, hand tools, hammer, files, sandpaper. Enjoy fresh lemonade, coffee or tea, and sample of the fresh fruits from the garden. Everyone takes their finished relief carving or mosaic with them.

This is the perfect choice for foodies visiting Naxos. Instead of just eating out in restaurants, enhance your vacation and expand your Greek culinary prowess with this hands-on cooking lesson. Visit a traditional village and use local, fresh, and organic ingredients—such as homegrown vegetables, which you can pick from the garden. Then, once the dishes are prepared, feast on the fruits of your labor at the end.

Learn new skills while creating a special personalized souvenir during a marble workshop in an olive grove at Kanakari, Naxos. Your instructor, Jb, teaches you everything you need to know about precious marbles and the local Naxos marble. He demonstrates the tools and techniques for cutting and shaping the crystalline Naxos marble and guides you in creating your own unique marble piece to take home.
