Cycladic Idol

Crafting a Cycladic idol figure from recycled materials can be a delightful and eco-friendly way to commemorate your Greek island holiday. These iconic sculptures, with their minimalist style and abstract forms, have inspired artists for millennia. By using items like old cardboard, foil and air dry clay, you can create a unique piece that captures the essence of the Cycladic tradition while also giving new life to materials that would otherwise be waste. It's a creative and sustainable way to bring a piece of your travels back home with you.

During this one-of-a-kind experience, participants become marble sculptors by creating their own Cycladic idol relief — inspired by one of the earliest art forms of the Aegean world. In the heart of Athens, they will explore Cycladic civilization, learn about marble carving traditions, and master authentic hand tools through guided practice. This workshop offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and artistic expression. Participants take home their unique marble artwork, gaining hands-on experience in traditional techniques while immersing themselves in Greek culture.
