This Christmas… children and parents at the Museum!
In this year’s Christmas workshops from the Museum of Cycladic Art, we will create our own fragrant ornaments, we’ll step inside the big Hollywood movie studios to shoot our own movies, we will create our own Christmas cards following Matisse’s technique and be inspired by the works of the De Stijl movement to make Christmas ornaments with style and imagination!
The weekend education programs are realized with the support of Eurolife FFH, a strategic partner of the Museum of Cycladic Art.

Christmas is arriving and homes are filled with the aromas of our preparations. So, Christmas workshop will be filled with flavors and aromas to put us in the mood for crafting our own scented ornaments. Cloves, oranges, cinnamon and much more will become the raw materials for our creations. All we have to do is mold, cut, prick and pierce.
At the end, we will all decorate our Christmas tree, sing and dance along to crazy tunes.
At the end, don’t forget to take your ornaments with you!
P.S.: Both parents and children should wear comfortable, casual clothes and be prepared to get dirty, because we will definitely get dirty!

We examine the costumes and the sets, the writer, the director and the actors. The people involved in the making of a film and put together a script. We choose our own role and prepare the costumes we will need. We use fabrics, paper, feathers, buttons and sequins. We cut, fold, glue and… “Cut” and “Action!” We are ready to shoot the movie!

How can you create a perfect composition of lines and colors?
The answer lies in Matisse’s technique. . Following this technique, you will use colored papers and your very own Christmas shapes to decorate the most imaginative and unique Christmas card. All that’s left is to add a colorful greeting inside and a stamp!
Color combinations, the balance of positive and negative space, lines that form shapes—both known and unknown—are our artistic tools for this festive workshop. And, of course, let’s not forget that scissors will take the place of brushes and paints! As Matisse used to say, we will be painting with scissors!
P.S.: Children need to wear casual and comfy clothes and be ready to get messy, as we will get messy!

The artists of the De Stijl movement saw the world in an abstract way. For them, everything was a combination of basic colors and shapes, which they arranged horizontally, vertically and diagonally to ultimately create a new image of the world.
Can you imagine how they would decorate their Christmas tree?
In this workshop, we will be inspired by the works of the De Stijl movement and create Christmas decorations, with lots of STYLΕ and even more imagination!
P.S.: Children need to wear casual and comfy clothes and be ready to get messy, as we will get messy!
