Visit the wicker heartland of the Podkarpacie region and join our weaving workshops!
A Life Woven in Wicker
We grew up surrounded by wicker, discovering intricate objects in old attics. To us, these are more than just crafts; they are witnesses to history. For years, we have passionately revitalized the traditions of the Lasowiacy people, believing that wicker holds a deep truth about the cycle of nature: of dying and being reborn in a new, more beautiful form. We want to share this wisdom, echoed in myths and fairy tales, with you.
We invite adults and children to our unique handicraft workshops. This is not just a lesson in technique; it is a journey to our roots. During the meeting:
- You will discover the fascinating life cycle of wicker – from harvest to finished material.
- You will hear stories about the traditional profession of the basket maker and life in our region.
- You will master techniques that allow you to craft your own baskets, lanterns, trays, or toys.
You will take home not only a handmade souvenir but, above all, the peace that comes from connecting with nature and the satisfaction of creating. Discover the beauty of basketry with us.
Craft in the Rhythm of the Seasons
Our year begins in spring, as the thaw reveals the earth, rivers swell across the meadows, and the willow awakens, putting forth its first buds. It concludes in winter, in the quiet of our homes, when the material harvested in autumn is transformed into the most beautiful forms.
We want to take you on a journey through four stages: SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, and WINTER. We will show you the path of the wicker – from its growth and harvest to the moment it takes on a new shape. This process has defined the history of our region for centuries, and in a broader sense, the history of humanity itself. Every step of this journey will be an opportunity for you to engage not only in manual work but in spiritual growth as well.
This is a space for what is most precious today: time without haste and digital noise. Time that teaches humility and tenderness. Allow yourself this moment of pause. Let the old fade away to make room for the new – in accordance with the eternal law of nature. Be "here and now" with us, bridging the heritage of our ancestors with your own future.
