Such a great time learning to carve into marble. It’s both easier and harder to do than I imagined and the end result you get to take home with you and treasure forever!

A fun, different experience, and Maggie was a great teacher! Carving is harder than I thought though...

Summary:
We went to Maggies spot for the marble carving class and had an amazing time! It was such a beautiful and refreshing way to relax and be creative on our honeymoon. Could even see Mount Zas in the background! Maggie helped us pick our marble pieces and practice our techniques on another slab before using our own. Her guidance, and assistance, helped us create two great pieces to bring home. Gave us a new appreciation for other marble sculptures we later saw on the trip.
