Step into the world of traditional Greek craftsmanship in the heart of the Peloponnese. This hands-on experience offers a deep dive into forty-five years of expertise in the art of gypsum, bridging ancient techniques with modern creativity. Located in historic Krestena, near Ancient Olympia, the workshop is a sanctuary where education and art converge.
The journey begins with a mystical visual tour, revealing the secrets of gypsum in Greek architecture, from the classical light of antiquity to the neoclassical elegance of Aegean mansions. A unique highlight of this activity is the Cross-Board Casting innovation—an invisible cultural bridge connecting the maritime horizon of Samos with the ancestral energy of the Peloponnese, transferring tradition across the Greek seas.
During the workshop, you will engage in a ritualistic process with the material. Select from specialised moulds inspired by the glorious eras of Greek heritage and follow every step, from preparing the raw material to the moment of casting. Under the guidance of a master, you will see the liquid element solidify into form.
Upon completion, your unique plaster replica is ready to be carried home as a personal amulet of memory. This small-group session ensures a personalised atmosphere and a tangible connection to the eternal artistic heritage of Greece.

The training course lasts one hour and thirty minutes ( 1:30 ).
