Artsy Paphos

By Maria Gregoriou

This coming week the Paphos harbour has a treat for all you arts and crafts lovers out there.

Apart from soaking up the sun, listening to the crisp sound of the waves hitting the boats and quay, you can also view and buy some hand-made art work.

The exhibition will include photographs of local scenes in Cyprus, paintings, jewellery, porcelain lights, vases and mosaics.

Individually made boxes, textile items and embroidery will also be on display.

If you have ever wondered how glass is shaped, then this is your chance to tap into the secret as you will have the chance to see a demonstration of hand blowing glass. Glass works can also be made especially for you if requested.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
