About
Blacksmiths, woodcarvers, leatherworkers, ganch carvers and souvenir makers work here: you can watch things being made and buy them from the artisans themselves. Classes are arranged with each artisan separately — ask on site or by phone what you can try yourself, how long it takes and what it costs.
