Summer Camp 2026

From TransfoLAB ATH we propose a different summer full of objects and creativity. We will learn creative techniques used in different contexts and with a variety of materials. The main focus will be on the circular economy, design thinking and sustainable fabrication. Each week we will deal with different topics and techniques (making, jewellery, carpentry, textiles etc). We will learn how to find or create new materials, how to design with creative reuse, how to transform everyday waste into new products and designs. At the end of each week we will make an exhibition with all our creations and celebrate with a small party. We will work in a small group to be able to offer maximum care and security, led by at least one tutor and two assistant. The summer school will be delivered in English, with support in Greek.
