An embroidery-themed workshop and a guided tour in Lefkara awaits the last Saturday of March, organised by the Centre for Social Innovation. On March 29, a team of participants will head to Mola Factory in Lefkara to partake in a Lefkaritiko-inspired textile printing workshop and a guided tour of the village.
The participants will be divided into two groups, one will get crafty first while the other group explores the village and then they will switch activities. The workshop requires participants bring their own fabric, be it jeans, t-shirts, tote bags and so on, to print Lefkaritika designs on using painting techniques. This activity will be led by Eden, a Scottish trainer from MOLA with a background in the arts and extensive experience in Lefkaritiko embroidery.
The guided tour will lead participants through the alleys and cobbled stone streets of Lefkara to discover the history and craftsmanship of the village as well as the local cultural enterprises. The tour will be led by Mr. George, the official tour guide of Lefkara Municipality.
