My sculpting courses in Greece take place in the North of the island, for example in the bay of Agios Georgios in the northwest of the island of Corfu.
Why especially there?
Agios Georgios has his own magic. Many people who have been there come back year after year.
I landed there almost 30 years ago during my young traveling years and stayed there for almost 5 years.
Winter like summer.
As an earthbound person with an affinity for the sea, it is a perfect place for me.
That's why I come there again and again.
Meanwhile our mesh of relations grew all over the north of the island and we were able to find a all-year-round domicile in Acharavi.
This lively village wiil be our new base.
In my sculpting classes, I would like to convey a little of the magic and the rhythm of the place.
What is the procedure?
The ideal arrival or departure day is Saturday.
There are direct flights from many German and Swiss airports on Saturdays. (Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Zurich).
I am happy to arrange a suitable accommodation and also the airport transfer.
If I do not pick you up at the airport, we meet for the first time right after your arrival and unpacking.
I'll visit you at your accommodation and see if everything is alright for you.
I will show you our workplace in advance and then the tavern "Dixtia", which is our common starting point.
Every Sunday afternoon our "Inspirational Round" takes place before we go to our stones the following day.
And every Friday evening we celebrate the conclusion of our course there together.
The courses are designed so that we spend four days a week on our sculptures from Monday to Friday.
The left day is a buffer day if the weather does not join in - which is rare and if so, then a short interlude.
We can use this day to explore the island together, but you can also spend it individually.
Our workplace is an open space with sun and rain protection. We sculpt twice a day for three hours, with a lunch break, during which we have a light, traditional farm workers snack.
If you want you can also have a swim in the sea just a few steps away, for a little refreshment.
In the evening we will have a table for our dinner in the tavern "Dixtia" and we will get indulged by Mama Margarita's excellent cuisine.
