Duration
~60–75 minutes per class (you finish and take it home the same day).
For whom
All ages; kid-friendly setups (tiles pre-cut, hand-placed).
Take-home
Your framed mosaic — windmills, sea motifs, Delos-inspired patterns, or your own design.

Location & Setting

Chora lanesShaded gardenAll ages

Based in the heart of Mykonos Town. Classes commonly run in the public garden of Cine Manto (calm, shaded, central) or at the artist’s studio in Agios Vlassis — a short walk from the waterfront and the shopping alleys.

Nearby: cafés and spritzerias in Chora (easy to pair a class with a coffee or early dinner).

Workshops

Hands-onTraditional techniqueKid-safe

You’ll learn the fundamentals from Irene Syrianou — a Mykonian artist who keeps Delian mosaic tradition alive. Expect a quick demo, then full hands-on time: arrange tesserae, set your motif, and finish a ready-to-hang piece. Children use hand-placement (no sharp tools); adults may try basic shaping if the design needs it.

Languages: English & Greek • Season: May–Oct core, with shoulder dates by request.

Practical Tips

ShadeHydrateTiming
  • Best time: morning or late afternoon (cooler, softer light).
  • Wear: comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty.
  • Kids: fully hands-on, safe materials; great from ~5+ with adult present.
  • Weather: windy/hot day? Class may shift indoors to the studio.

Editor’s stance: Skip the plastic souvenirs. Make a mosaic tied to the island’s Delos DNA — you’ll hang it at home and actually smile.
