Celebrating European Artistic Craft Days in the Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil

Details

The Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation (PIOP), in the framework of this year’s European Artistic Craft Days (28/3-3/4), organizes on Sunday 3 April (at 11:00-14:00) a workshop for teenagers and adults, titled “Recycling… with crochet” in the Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil in Sparti.

Archaeologist Voula Kalliodi will show participants how to refashion and reuse daily objects. In this workshop, designed for people who are familiar with crocheting, various materials that might have ended up in the trash bin, such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, packaging nets, rings around soft-drink cans or old clothes, become tasteful ornaments or useful objects.

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 27310 89315, 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.
