WaterLes 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.
Step into the world of traditional Greek craftsmanship on the lush island of Samos. This 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 Karlovasi, a place of rich industrial heritage, 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 classical light to the neoclassical elegance of Aegean mansions. A unique highlight 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 Greece.
The experiential stage invites a direct, ritualistic engagement with the material. Participants select from specialised moulds inspired by the glorious eras of Greek heritage. The process covers every step, from preparing the raw material to the moment of casting, where the liquid solidifies into form. This session offers a rare opportunity to connect with a Gypsum craftsman’s journey in an authentic environment.
Upon completion, a unique gypsum replica emerges, ready to be carried home as a personal amulet of memory. Designed for small groups to ensure a personalised atmosphere, this workshop offers a tangible connection to the eternal artistic heritage of Greece.
