Discover an inspiring art and culture sanctuary in Krestena, Ilia, located just 14 kilometres from Ancient Olympia. The experience unfolds in a refined cultural space featuring a lending library and a piano, connecting you with Ilia's rich mythological and historical heritage, including references to the Labours of Hercules and the nearby Kaiafa thermal springs.
You'll move to the workspace where, under the guidance of experienced plaster craftsmen, you'll learn to mix natural gypsum powder with water, observe the material's thermal transformation and pour it into silicone moulds. You can carve a name or date onto your piece for personalisation.
At the end, your finished plaster object will be placed in a special transport bag. You'll walk the "Path of the Gypsum Craftsman" and gain knowledge about gypsum processing within an unforgettable cultural setting.
