How do they do it? It is impossible without a machine! Is it really possible to do it with your own hands? Can we bring it with us as a souvenir? Please, can you teach me.
For one who want something really special, who want to become a one with locals and to experience their ordinary day, we want to suggest a range of activities to ensure your conference, meeting or incentive program has the edgy element you are looking for. Different programs can be custom-tailored according to your needs and the aim you want to achieve among your delegates and team members.
You will be learned how to use traditional techniques to replicate ancient motives into an artistic image on a wood, item from a stone or on a souvenir made of hay. All programs can be organized in your hotel, but for the best experiences you should visit craftsman workshops and artist ateliers. Your hosts and teacher can even facilitate a quick snack, home-made food or traditional pastry.
