Welcome to the home of Layia Village Crafts and the living history of the DoodLynn Den. From the hand-hewn Olive wood trees to the salvaged 1962 timber, our workshop is built on layers of time and creativity. Each chapter below takes you behind the scenes of our construction, our art, and the unique spirit of the Den.

 

Where the grain meets the brush.

 

 

Based in the heart of Cyprus, we are a husband-and-wife team dedicated to the slow art of traditional craft. From the ancient, wind-swept olive groves to the vibrant light of the Mediterranean coast, our work is a tribute to the island we call home.

• A Legacy in the Making: From Layia Village Crafts to the DoodLynn Den

  For over eight years, our story has been rooted in the hills of Layia. What began as Layia Village Crafts—a passion for honoring the “Wise Old Olive Trees” of our village—has evolved into the DoodLynn Den.

  While our name has grown, our hands-on approach remains the same. The Den is our dedicated home studio where Lynn’s vibrant canvases and my hand-carved olive wood sculptures come to life. We invite you to step into our world, where nearly a decade of Cypriot heritage meets modern artistic vision. Every piece we create carries the spirit of the trees we’ve spent years protecting and the village we call home.
