n the woodworking workshop, we create simple sculptural compositions using the basic techniques of carpentry. By cutting, drilling, joining, and decorating, we craft small sculptures — figurative or abstract — and who knows? Perhaps one day we’ll make an animation film with wooden heroes.
Through educational woodworking:
- We perceive ourselves as part of a historical process.
- We understand our role in the production and evolution of human material culture.
- We engage with manual creation and explore the sequence of “idea – design – implementation” in making objects that combine functionality, aesthetics, and communicative value.
We are a Social Cooperative Enterprise based in Syros, focusing on local participatory planning, arts education, crafts, and “learning through practice” approaches.
