• Reviving traditional craftsmanship

• Promoting equity over equality
• Access to people With Disabilities
• Create a new generation of artisans and transmit knowledge & craftsmanship
• Promote and disseminate art
• Ensure a sustainable development

The project combines heritage and tourism in a natural setting and is surrounded by orange orchards.

Visit our Arts Workshops and discover the ancestral handicraft techniques: Glass Blowing, Pottery, Glass painting and Silkscreen Printing. Don’t forget to try out our Pottery wheel and our Glass painting courses.

The village stretches over thousands of square meters where you can take the time to stroll among the orange trees.
