Join us for a short escape into nature!
- Yoga for Relaxation, Connection & Inspiration
We will begin with a Hatha Yoga class. This practice helps release tension from the body, calms the mind, and enhances concentration. It prepares participants for a more creative state of inner harmony—ideal for engaging in the art of book binding.
No prior experience is required.
The yoga session is organized by Eutopia Yoga & Tai Chi Center, a space of wellness in Mytilene that promotes holistic practices of East, helping individuals find their inner harmony. @eutopia_center
- The Art of Book Binding
Printing & binding everyday aspects
In this workshop we will make a book with only paper and our hands. We will decorate it by discovering printing with simple, everyday objects and other materials from our natural environment. We will play with our creativity and imagination and end up with our own little work of art!
About Tortuguita:
My name is Despina Anastasopoulou. “tortuguita” was conceived in 2018 due to the need of slowing down and return to touching and creating. It is an artistic bookbinding and printmaking workshop where my original ideas are converted into useful handmade products.
I create my own calendars, notebooks, cards, bookmarks, photo albums and anything else that comes to my mind, in my own design and with handmade prints (linocuts) of my own original designs.
In my studio I also offer courses in engraving and bookbinding using old and new methods.
In the last few years I have been enjoying the slow pace of Mytilene.
