Woodcarving in a Santorini Cave Studio!
Santorini is famous for its blue domes and sunsets, but have you ever explored the hidden aura of its traditional villages?
Experience the ancient Greek art of mosaic creation that dates back thousands of years. You will be taking hands-on learning where you discover exactly how to assemble stones and create intricate mosaic patterns that still exist in Sparta. You will create a personalized piece of Greek history, right here in the shadow of King Leonidas's legacy!
Once you enter the workshop space you will be guided to the studio, where all the mosaics are exhibited and you will discuss the history and meaning behind this timeless art. Explanation will be provided on the many different materials used to create mosaics.
You will select a pre-transferred pattern, most of which are inspired by ancient mosaics still visible in Sparta today. Once the design is chosen, you will select your preferred stone colors, and the art instructor will prepare the adhesive to match your chosen hues.
Now it’s time to craft your mosaic masterpiece. The mosaic instructor with more than 20 years of experience will help you use the ‘direct method’ and provide any guidance, support and tips you might need, to ensure the best result. You will work with stone tesserae to complete a mosaic of Spartan artistic heritage measuring approximately 15 x 15 cm that you can take home.
After finishing the activity, you can enjoy the exhibition space, take photos or purchase mosaic art and jewelry from the gift shop.
