Our little workshop In the shipyard has been successful and kids have done a great job! They were shaping the wood, taking off little shells from the bottom, painting, tying the ropes, installing all other parts of the boat and the rudder. The kids found small paddles too! They carried the boat together from the Museum to the water polo pool and launched it into the sea. Boats are sailing every day – we don’t know exactly where, we’ll wait untill their stories sail back to us. Check out our gallery of photos from the workshop.

Themes and colours of Betina – artistic young talents are found!
Yesterday was quite a cheerful evening! There were so many children gathered on a workshop that was held outside our Museum. The kids were pretty motivated about their artistic assignments. Sketches very soon turned out to become beautiful pictures inspired by some typical details of the village. The kids draw houses, rooftops, seagulls, olive trees, flowers and other details of nature, but especially those related to sea and ships – masts, sail poles, bows, wooden oarlocks, waves, clouds, sun… Blue was definitely a dominant colour on our workshop! Children’s drawings will soon be travelling the world since Betina Museum of Wooden Shipbuilding will turn them into postcards that will be available at our reception. Well done artists!
