X[ξ]YLO Wood Design Santorini

About

I am Michael Arvanitis and I am occupied with wood carving. I am pleased to present my new space - a gallery in Akrotiri, Santorini, where I exhibit my artwork. I love working with a variety of woods and each presents a unique challenge to create something beautiful that enhances the inner beauty of the wood itself. I have carved across a broad range of subjects and styles: from the traditional to the modern; from the photographically realistic to the utterly whimsical; from relief and ornamental carving to lettering and sculpture. It is our pleasure to meet you soon. Basic Workshop • Brief historical review of the art of woodcarving. • Theoretical reference to the treatment of wood from the beginning to the completion of a wood-carved object. • Practice the basic techniques of woodcarving art (under guidance) and the creation of wood-carved objects.
