"Had a lovely day, Karolina was very helpfull and guided us all with patience and fun. I am not a crafter but I throughly enjoyed myself as I think most of us did."

Karolina's workshops are, above all, a beautiful, creative experience. But not only that. They're a sunny, creative time, with beautiful, handmade souvenirs from Crete. Karolina knows how to create a unique atmosphere that fosters creativity. I was fortunate enough to participate in these workshops twice and will gladly return again if the opportunity arises. Thank you Karolina and I hope to see you soon again 🙂

"Such a lovely and relaxing experience. The host was so kind and helpful, and I really enjoyed making it. There were so many beautiful beads to choose from and the whole atmosphere felt very calming and creative. I’m so happy with how mine turned out — definitely one of my favourite memories from Chania. Highly recommend!"
