In pics: Silver and Gold Smithery School of Stemnitsa, Greece

Photo taken on Nov. 4, 2017, shows Jose Perez Mavrogenis, 24, melting metal with a gas torch at the Silver and Gold Smithery School of Stemnitsa, Greece. In Stemnitsa, a small traditional stone village of about 200 residents on the slope of the fiery Mount Menalon, about 150 km southwest of Athens, a technical school continues the area's rich tradition in gold and silver smithery. Breathing new life into the village, students, aged 22 to 32, come from across the country and abroad to learn the art of crafting jewelry from silver and gold. (Xinhua/Lefteris Partsalis)
