Fun workshop to create your own souvenir! - It was a very fun experience to shape the marble and the first time with such tools for me. However, JB really cared about the safe use! He also gave helpful tips to find the right kind of marble for your specific idea by explaining its different properties and some historical background.
I highly recommend this workshop to you! Just keep in mind to bring preferably a FFP3 dusk mask with you, since it can become quite dusty ;)

Do not pass this by! So much fun! - We travelled through Greece for 2 weeks and all three of us agreed that this was the best thing we did during our trip. JB was patient with our below-beginner skills and showed us what we needed to get started on ur owns works of art. The studio is near the water and had an amazing sunset view. Do not miss this!

Awesome experience! - This workshop was one of my favorite parts of my 10 day trip. It was so fun and rewarding to create my own piece to take home. JB was a wonderful host - very kind and helpful! Zero experience is needed for this workshop. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to do something out of the norm on their trip to Paros.

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.
