Cyprus Trip – Working Holiday! Akrotiri

I have just returned from a jam packed week in Cyprus, staying in Limassol, working in Akrotiri and visiting Lefkara and Pafos!
The week has allowed me to indulge in creativity and craft, learning about local skills and traditions…..

Working with creative people from England, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Cyprus….

Limassol Inspiring things

… Meet new faces; make new friends and new contacts …

…All whilst guzzling Cypriot coffee with one or two ice creams, Scottish tablet, shortbread and other such delights! Really what more could a girl want?!
Stalies Farm, Anogyra, Limassol


Here are a few images from the trip to inspire and offer a flavour of Cyprus.


Expect Sara Gadd Millinery to be influenced by the trip and watch out for further related posts, there’s simply too much to put into one post alone!

...to be continued.

Romanian Students - Hat Making - Recycled Materials!


Sara Gadd Millinery has been out and about working with Grampus Heritage and Training Limited and their current group of Romanian students....


Grampus Heritage and Training Ltd is a non-profit making organisation based in the North West of England. Since 1997 we have been involved in the management and promotion of European projects concerned with culture, heritage, archaeology and the environment.


Students created unique hats using recycled materials and found objects, their headwear will be worn for a fashion show, with costumes created in the same way!
They have four weeks here to work and discover hidden heritage within out culture!
