Ever wanted to look like a Greek goddess? It’s all in the hair!  Teens in grades 6 - 12 learn about the ancient art of hair braiding and the Caryatid hairstyles found on the maiden statues in the Anthenian Acropolis. 

A short documentary will be shown and then Dr. Katherine Schwab will give a presentation while professional hair stylist, Milexy Torres, demonstrates braiding techniques and provides tips on how you can do this too.

Dr. Schwab is an Art History professor at Fairfield University with extensive research, awards and accomplishments in the field of Ancient Greek Civilization, including the Caryatid Hairstyling project (www.fairfield.edu/caryatid).  Her drawings of sections of the Parthenon are on permanent display in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece.

Milexy has done work for theaters and magazines, as well as the Caryatid Hairstyling Project.  Currently, she is Master stylist at ESPN and owner of Milexy Couture in Farmington, CT.
