Attempt to protect marble crafting

ATHENS - Wielding chisels and hammers, several children were fascinated by carving marble the way real craftsmen do in an outdoor workshop at the local Technopolis Cultural Center.

"It's my first time to do marble crafting and it is very interesting," 8-year-old Ilias says.

"Sculptors start from nothing and they end up with a masterful piece. I like how the statues look," he adds.
