Description

Discover an art dating back over 4,000 years by taking part in this handcrafted seal engraving workshop in the heart of Athens. The creation of a seal is both an artistic and symbolic gesture, combining tradition, precision and personal expression.

During this experience, you’ll learn to draw and then engrave your own motif on a stone specially designed for this technique. It can be a name, an initial, a symbol, a logo or a design with a special meaning. No preparation or prior knowledge is necessary: the artist guides you step by step throughout the workshop.

You’ll learn about engraving tools, how to create clear, legible lines, and how to apply ink or seal paste to produce your first prints on paper. This immersive experience allows you to explore both the manual techniques and the cultural dimension of this age-old art form.

The workshop is suitable for adults, teenagers and accompanied children. At the end of the session, you’ll leave with your own hand-engraved seal, ready to use, as well as the first impressions made during the session. An ideal gift… or for yourself.
