Ancient Greek Sculpture Workshop in Athens
From Inspiration to Creation
At Ancient Symposium, art is not only something you see—it is something you experience. In the heart of Athens, discover the stories of ancient Greek sculpture and create a work of your own.
Your journey through ancient Greek art
1. Inspiration in the Ancient Room and Gallery
Begin with an atmospheric introduction to iconic sculptures, bronze helmets and ancient Greek armour. Their stories and proportions become the inspiration for your own creation.
2. Hands-on clay sculpture workshop
Move into our professional studio and sculpt the face of the god Hermes from natural clay. A professional sculptor guides you step by step through proportion, symmetry and form. No previous experience is needed.

“Loved this session with Manos—two lovely hours learning to sculpt our own faces. It was relaxing, expertly guided, and my 16-year-old son especially enjoyed the experience.”
