Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll learn traditional Albanian woodcarving techniques from local master craftsman Viktor Nurce
  • There's a hands-on experience where you can create your own unique wooden souvenir to take home
  • You'll design and craft personalised wooden items such as decorative signs, necklaces or mirrors
  • A tasting of homemade Albanian wine or traditional rakia is included while you work on your creation
What to expect

Take home a cool souvenir from Albania with this 3-hour wood crafting. Learn how to make small woodworks like small wooden signs with text or drawings, small necklaces, key hangers and even small mirrors upon your choice. Make everything you want from the items mentioned above and take it home as a souvenir or a gift for your loved ones.

After meeting your host in Cerciz Topulli square, you'll head toward the Master Nurce Workshop. First, you will become familiar with the wood and its types and get some general information. After choosing what you'll create, you'll design it first on a white paper, and after that you'll start carving always under the surveillance of master Viktor Nurce. While working, you can enjoy some glasses of rakia or homemade wine, depending on your choice.

Well done on the masterpiece you've crafted yourself - there's nothing quite like the satisfaction derived from creating something with your own two hands!
