👉 different techniques used traditionally to decorate folk dresses and other items

👉 different materials and supplies that could be used for contemporary folk ornaments & the ways in which they could be used in a meaningful way

👉 hands on part of the workshop where one can paint a folk ornament under the supervision of Sonya Darrow.

If interested an everyday folk dress piece may be bought on site for additional 100-290 CZK.
