Traditional Hand Craft Course
Overview
We as Hasder Folk Arts Institute, are a non-profit organization. We do not only produce, display and sell hand crafts using colors, patterns and motifs authentic to Cyprus, but also give courses in handcrafts to revive this part of the Cyprus culture.
There are lots of different traditional patterns on the doors of the houses inside the city walls of Nicosia. By carving one of these patterns on pieces of wood, you can make yourself a unique key holder to be displayed on your wall.
Now, join our 1-1.5 hours workshop and experience basics of Wood Carving and feel the historical touch from the wooden doors of Cyprus!
You can take the pieces you make. You will need to pay for the raw material by cash on the day of the experience. The charges vary from 1 to 3 euros each.
Thanks for reading. We are looking forward to meeting with you!

Wow! So different! So unique experience! We have tried carving with friends. Definitely had a great time. Heard the background of wood carving culture in Cyprus. The patterns and motifs are authentic to Cyprus- well, at least we tried. :) At the end, when holding the unique key holder I created with my own hands I was proud of myself.
