We are so thrilled to share some heartfelt feedback from our recent wood carving workshop! Our wonderful customer, JP from Paphos, expressed how happy he was with his spoon carving experience. 🌟

JP discovered a new passion for woodworking, and we couldn't be more excited for him! It’s moments like these that remind us of the joy that comes from trying something new and creative.

If you're considering taking up a hobby, why not join us for our next workshop? You might just find your new favorite pastime like JP did! We'd love to hear what hobbies you're interested in exploring as well! 💚

"I had a wonderful experience from start to finish at Cyprus art retreat.
I attended the spoon carving workshop held by Tony.
Beautiful rural village location. Easy to find I might add!
Relaxed, but professional instruction given with passion.
Took my spoon home on the day and received support from both Tony and Tim to carry on with my new, found hobby.
The day was finished off with a delicious, home cooked meze lunch at the local taverna.
I can highly recommend the experience."
