To explore the techniques of hand carving marble and mosaic in 3 hours beginner workshop in our open-air marble art garden studio. Hand-carved marble and stone, kind sculptures, mosaic. During the workshop, you can enjoy the wonderful nature
in our garden which is nestled in the valley between the villages of Eggares, Galini Amitis Beach on Naxos Island.
Our garden is very close to the river Engares. To arrive at our garden you have to pass the river that is surrounded by canes. Grimantis Marble Art Garden is a secret Garden. Just driving to Grimantis Garden is a big adventure.
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.
