The Silver Legacy: Design Your Greek Keepsake

2 hours

Easy

Visit a gem hidden in Athens and dive into a hands-on jewelry workshop to learn the delicate art of silversmithing and craft your own custom piece.

Craft your very own piece of Athenian history! Under the guidance of our experienced professional—a master artist and passionate mentor—you’ll learn the delicate art of silversmithing, infused with equal parts Greek wisdom and craftsmanship. This is more than a workshop; it is an invitation to express yourself through art and connect with your inner designer by transforming high-quality silver into a unique, personal accessory. No prior experience is needed, just your curiosity and willingness to create.

You are invited to come prepared with a simple idea, a quick sketch, or even a photograph of the design you wish to create. Together, we will turn that inspiration into a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. To truly connect the legacy of jewelry making in Greece with contemporary trends, we offer the option of using metals like silver, bronze and copper, which are perfect for adding unique color and dimension to your finished creation.

This hands-on journey takes place in a welcoming, hidden-gem workshop located right in the heart of Athens, far from the typical tourist crowds. After your immersive creative session, you can choose to elevate your experience further with a reserved booking at a traditional taverna or a Greek wine bar, both within easy walking distance. Leave with a personal masterpiece and a deeper connection to the city's artisan culture.
