Celebrating European Artistic Craft Days in the Museum of Industrial Olive-oil Production of Lesvos
2.4.2022



The Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation (PIOP), in the framework of this year’s European Artistic Craft Days (28/3-3/4), organizes a felting workshop for beginners on Saturday 2 April (at 10:00-11:30 and 12:00-13:30) in the Museum of Industrial Olive-oil Production of Lesvos at Aghia Paraskevi.

Felt is a material made of wool fibres that have not been processed. The required technique is simple and needs only water, soap and imagination. Using their hands or special needles, participants will create the wool fibres that can be combined with silk, linen and cotton fabrics, with impressive results, or to make jewels and ornaments for clothes and accessories.



The European Artistic Craft Days (www.journeesdesmetiersdart.fr) have been established as an annual springtime institution in many European countries since 2002. For the 2022 edition, the theme is “Our Hands in Unison”.

PIOP’s activities this year are dedicated to the memory of architect Eleni Pagratiou-Alexaki, who first organized the European Artistic Craft Days in Greece in 2016.

Participation and materials are free of charge.
Registration is required.

For more information and reservations, you can contact the Museum at the telephone number 22530 32300 (daily except Tuesday, 10:00-18:00).

*Due to special circumstances, setting public health as a priority, the activity will take place in compliance with the prescribed measures.
