About this experience

Simply come with your creative mood and you will be guided step by step by Elisavet, a qualified third generation weaver, who will share her love and knowledge of weaving with you.
In this session you will start from scratch and create your own woven piece by using just your hands on a vertical loom with quality local materials. This course is easy and fun for beginners.
