Educational Workshops
Santorini Arts Factory and the Tomato Industrial Museum “D. Nomikos” aim to be a hospitable place of culture accessible to everyone. We are constantly expanding and upgrading our educational activities and our main effort is to create workshops for all ages.
Thus, children embrace their creative side and we encourage this creative thinking through self-experience. In the workshops, children have the opportunity to broaden their imagination, enrich their vocabulary, strengthen their narrative ability, expression, concentration and memory, become aware of tradition and to boost their confidence.
Stay tuned for our new programs.
