The most famous and significant were established and still today exist in Ayiassos and Mantamados, where pottery is a tradition inherited from generation to generation without any changes. Woodcarving: Woodcarving is another popular traditional art characteristic of the culture of the province. Experienced works were carving and still today carve the wood of olive trees, chestnut-trees and cherry-trees, converting it into various shapes inspired from the Christian life (items for monasteries or churches-iconostasis, throne of the Patriarch) or for the decoration of the Lesvian house, (consoles, sendouki), items immortal through time. Now days the woodcarving tradition continues is Ayiassos, Mytilene and Asomatos. Weaving: This popular art has been rescued through the women of the provincw who used to make their houses apparel (a necessary piece of their dowry) to the traditional loom.
