    Carve you own mini marble tablet

    Tugce_K, Aug 2025
    I was a little bit worried, there was no review! But I'm glad I took a chance because this was the best experience ever. Professor Dimitris Pantazidis is really the expert of the art and has the passion for it. You are first given a mini-lesson of how marble carving works, what materials were used and shown examples. Then you sketch your own Cycladic form on a little marble tablet, shown the tools and start chipping. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes (as you will be doing most of this on your feet and under spot lights) and be prepared for marble dust and pieces to fly all over :) Professor Dimitris is always happy to step in and help you if you are struggling. It didn't take me long to understand the logic and soon you could see how things supposed to work. But since it's a relatively quick project (and not a marble statue itself!) you need to be prepared that it will not be perfection :) When you are satisfied, you are able to color your work with clay if you want and it is sealed with varnish and presented to you. Congratulations :) I really liked this workshop, I was the solo booker for this session and it was a private lesson for me! The summer heat may not be the best time to experience this workshop but hey you only live once :)
