The Artisan Program

The Artisan Program – In 2007, an Artisan Center was created to provide the facilities to organize a series of trainings for the crafts and artisans (wood and stone carving, tailoring, embroidery, textile) which have had a great impact in the invigoration of the artisan production in Gjirokastra. Nowadays, an Association of the Artisan Women called “GjiroArt” is functioning in that space, and provides local made souvenirs for tourists, and the conservation of traditional craft skills.
