THE COMMUNITY
Askardamykti has been operating since 2014 providing educational programs for adults in technical professions and traditional arts with the aim of promoting them and strengthening their sustainability in the modern economic environment. Since 2020, it has been housed in the historic Lekka textile factory in Perissos, a 1500 m2 factory space , which it renovated and configured to host applied and traditional arts workshops in specially equipped spaces. We envisioned a common meeting place for professionals, amateurs and the general public , a modern network of people who practice but are also interested in getting to know traditional arts and professions. A modern Bauhaus that seeks to break down again the boundary between artists, industrial designers and craftsmen creating a new form of "modern craftsman" .
