Overview

We offer you a special papier-mâché course, during which you learn the elaborate but satisfying process of creating handmade papier-mâché works, linked to the Salento tradition.

A skilled craftsman will explain and show the different stages of production, which is still carried out according to the ancient tradition handed down from generation to generation. Take part in a craft activity and, with the help of “poor” materials such as paper, straw, flour, glue and water, you will create a small handmade souvenir to take home!
