When you buy something from an artisan you are buying a hundred hours of experiments and failure, months of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are not buying an object, you are buying a passion, a moment of life of a person.
Going around the island you might observe that many corners, gardens, boats, and houses are really artistic; Kefalonian people were and are in fact truly creative.
Nowadays the handicrafts made on the Island are mainly: paintings, olive tree wood-crafted works of art, recycled copper wire sculptures, dolls, embroideries, lace and needlework, vintage creations of clothing and furnishings and the design and manufacture of jewellery.
