Keretsi | Apprenticeship and Hands-on Workshop on Mortars for Traditional and Sustainable Building Practices

Participants will contribute to the restoration of the historic Frasta School and engage in practical training, expert-led seminars, site visits, and cultural discussions. Open to 26 participants from Greece and abroad.

The word “Keretsi” means lime in the secret language of craftspeople.
