You do not need any prior woodworking or carving experience to take part! Master craftsmen guide you step-by-step through tool selection, safety, carving rhythms and finishing techniques so you feel completely supported throughout both days.

On Saturday morning, your retreat begins at ten o'clock with a warm welcome reception, fresh local pastries, and rich Cypriot coffee as you meet your fellow culture lovers. You will enter the vibrant local studio to learn the art of 3D relief carving on premium local pine wood, sculpting intricate patterns and deep textures with specialized chisels. At noon, you will pause for a massive family-style tavern lunch featuring slow-cooked mountain meze dishes, local wine and seasonal island flavors before finishing your relief artwork.
