Lefkosia The City Guide

57 Michelangelo Foundation and Ateliers d’Art de France. We also participate in European programmes and host artists, as well as take part in international handicraft exhibitions, such as the International Biennale Révélations in Paris. Q. What is the purpose of the workshops at the Cyprus Handicrafts Service? A: The most important pillar of the Service is the transmission of the craft practices of Cyprus’ intangible cultural heritage. We offer educational programmes and activities to students of all levels, introducing them to craft techniques and cultivating skills. We also emphasise on educating individuals who wish to pursue a career in craftsmanship, which makes a significant contribution to the economy and trade. I would like to thank the artisans of the Service, as well as those who collaborate with us and continuously offer their knowledge to younger generations through educational programmes. You can purchase authentic Cypriot handicrafts from the Cyprus Handicraft Service shops and selected museums.
