Ceramics - Pottery
Ceramics and pottery in Cyprus have a history going back thousands of years. This historical tradition is reflected in the work of local potters. In the potter's studios one can experience not only the art of working and reforming clay, but also the artists' love of their work.
Artistic glassworks - Glass bowling
Glass making began in Cyprus in the 7th and 6th centuries BC, and since then the techniques used in glass production and decorating have greatly improved over the centuries.
Wood carvers - Old furniture restorers
In ancient times, Cyprus was covered in pine trees and many ancient naval powers built their ships on the island. Nowadays the carving of wood is made only for domestic and artistic reasons by fine carvers. Visitors can watch how old pieces of furniture are restored.
