Painting with Guest Artist Jortt (John Hartt)

Guest artist Jortt will lead a two-hour acrylic painting class, guiding participants step by step as they paint alongside him while being encouraged to explore their own creativity and personal style. Each guest will create an original piece: a playful, color-forward interpretation of Laconiko's Koroneiki olives - inspired by Jortt's signature strange and wonderful style, where bold greens meet vibrant expression.
