Marble Workshops

Sculpting Memories in Marble: A Journey Beyond the Ordinary.

Joining our marble sculpting workshop isn’t just about learning a timeless art form; it’s about the joy, fulfillment, and sense of accomplishment our students feel as they unveil the beauty hidden within stone.

How we work:

Hands-on learning experience, guided by the principles of traditional craftsmanship and artistic exploration. Each class begins with an introduction to the fundamental tools and techniques that have shaped marble into breathtaking works of art for centuries. Our students engage directly with the material, using chisels, mallets, and rasps to transform raw stone into forms of beauty and expression. Under the expert tutelage of our skilled artisans, participants learn not only the technical aspects of sculpting but also the artistic intuition required to ‘release’ their visions from the marble. Our approach is deeply personalized, accommodating the unique creative journey of each student, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching sculpting experience.

What To Expect:

After participating in our marble sculpting classes at Chorochronos, students can expect to emerge with a profound appreciation for the art of marble sculpting and a solid foundation in its techniques. You will gain hands-on experience and confidence in handling traditional sculpting tools, understanding the properties of marble, and the process of transforming a raw block into a piece of art. The classes instill a sense of patience, precision, and the artistic intuition needed to visualize and carve your designs into reality. Beyond the technical skills, students leave with an enriched sense of creativity, an understanding of sculptural aesthetics, and the inspiration to continue exploring the boundless possibilities within the medium of marble.

Iconography Workshops

Illuminating Souls: The Sacred Art of Iconography.

Embark on a transcendent journey through the sacred art of iconography, where every brushstroke is a meditation and every color choice a prayer. Our workshops offer more than just an introduction to this ancient artistic tradition; they provide a sanctuary for the soul, a place where artistry and spirituality converge.

How we work

We immerse participants in the ancient practice of Byzantine iconography, starting with the spiritual and historical significance of icons in Christian art. Our workshops are structured around hands-on learning, where students are introduced to traditional techniques such as egg tempera painting, gilding with gold leaf, and the intricate process of writing an icon, layer by layer. Guided by experienced iconographers, participants learn to harmonize their personal expressions within the canonical framework of iconography, ensuring that each created icon is not only a work of art but also a window to the divine. Our approach is designed to foster a deep, meditative engagement with the art, encouraging students to find their own spiritual connection within the disciplined craft of iconography.

What To Expect

Students can expect to leave with a rich understanding of Byzantine iconography’s spiritual depth and artistic discipline. You will acquire hands-on experience in traditional iconographic techniques, such as preparing the wooden panel, applying gold leaf, and mastering egg tempera painting. The classes provide a comprehensive insight into the symbolism and theology underlying iconic images, empowering students to create icons that are not only visually captivating but also theologically profound. Beyond the technical skills, participants will develop a contemplative approach to art, appreciating the icon as a meditative practice and a form of prayer. This immersive experience is designed to inspire a lasting connection to the sacred art of iconography, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to continue this venerable tradition in their personal or professional artistic endeavors.
