Plaster Casting Workshop in Samos

4.8/5
2 reviews

On the island of Pythagoras, where philosophy birthed the Ionic style, you're welcomed to explore the roots of Greek aesthetics. Nestled in Middle Karlovasi, a traditional plaster sculpture workshop stands as the eastern cornerstone of a cultural bridge linking the Aegean Sea with the wider world. Here, geometry morphs into art and historical knowledge transforms into a deeply tactile, hands-on experience.

With authentic moulds at your disposal, your hands trace the lines that once married science and sculpture. Guided by an artist whose lineage has remained unbroken since 1966, you'll engage with the "golden proportions," uncover how simple gypsum can encapsulate the light and intensity of an entire culture. You're not merely crafting replicas; you're breathing life back into Greek heritage.

As you take your leave, you carry with you your own genuine creation, shaped with the expertise that once graced Greece's most significant monuments, seamlessly blending the past with the present.

    Les 3 responsables du workshop étaient accueillants et engagés ils connaissaient très bien le sujet et les techniques du moulage. En une heure de temps ils ont beaucoup appris aux enfants (12, 11 et 8 ans) C'était intéressant et ludique. Les enfants sont repartis avec une petite moulure réalisées par eux-mêmes. 2 suggestions : peut-être simplifier un peu les explications historiques pour les enfants et mieux renseigner l'adresse du parking et de l'atelier.

    Hyggelig familiebedrift med en varm og imøtekommende atmosfære. De var svært hjelpsomme, tok seg god tid til å følge oss opp, og delte raust av sin kunnskap. Vi lærte masse. Tydelig at de har stor faglig kompetanse og brenner for det de gjør. Anbefales på det sterkeste!
