Hi, I’m magoozers. This is my studio.
Naxos has a vast history and culture of stone carving and an abundance of crystalline white marble from the mountainous center of the island. Grimantis Garden is on 9 hectares nestled in the valley between the villages of Engares and Galini just 7 kilometers from the main Chora. It is one kilometer from the village of Engares, I ½ kilometers, from Galini, and less than 1 kilometer to Amiti Beach. Grimantis has orange, lemon, olive, apricot, peach, tangerine trees, bananas, chickens, ducks, peacocks, geese, goats, a growing biodiversity of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Here I have created an open air studio in the olive grove shaded and sheltered from rain we have all the necessary hand tools for sculpting marble. In addition to clay and plaster for model making. Among the nature it's not difficult to loose yourself in your work and creative process. If you are an experienced sculptor or artist but have never worked in marble I offer private instruction per the hour. I have worked with people with no experience in 3D and will walk thru the entire process from beginning to end. You are welcome to stay on the grounds with a tent, or with a mat in the dome structure. There is a small house (in construction) that holds a gas stove, wood oven, basic kitchen supplies. There are no showers, or toilette facilities, or electricity as of yet. But within 15 minutes walking distance there are several choices from basic to luxury accommodations, a couple of mini-markets, cafes, and tavernas.
