Weaving Programme
Main Aim of the Programme
Anna Karatzani, Coordinator of the Weaving Programme
Drawing on the techniques of traditional weaving and the distinctive decorative features of each region of Greece, the Weaving Programme aims to create channels of innovation for the development and promotion of competitive and contemporary products.
