Family of 4 had a great time! - Fantastic experience. JB was so nice and very helpful teaching 4 of us with NO experience with marble. We all were able to make a piece in the 3 hour time period.

Great fun! Noisy. Bring a good mask and expect to get marble dust on you. - I was uncomfortable with the grinder at first, but quickly came to enjoy bringing my own Cycladic head out of a plain block of Parian marble.

Marble Fun - Had a great time. Was fun learning how to manage the marble. I made the mistake of picking too large of piece. Make sure to get one small enough to finish. Definitely a must while in Paros.

Awesome and unique in the Mediterranean! - This was an awesome and unique local experience: carving local marble in a beautiful Mediterranean setting. JB was encouraging and good at direction. I'd never worked w power tools and my husband had and we both loved it! So happy we found this opportunity. Thanks JB!

Unexpected but worth it! - This was not the class we expected when we booked it, but it was still a great experience! Just keep in mind that when booking that this class uses power tools for the carving so you should ensure you are confident with them first. Overall, it was a very cool and unique experience I would only recommend to the most adventurous!
