Ukrainians - listeners of the introductory course on Latvia - visited the VEF Culture Palace, got acquainted with the tradition of Latvian ceramics, and also tried their hand at making dishes and whistles! The visit to the studio was a special surprise event due to the day of certification and ending the introductory course on Latvia.
Cameraman Juris Kalniņš filmed the whole happening to later include a story about this event in the news video of the project.
Alltogether the participants were happy with this opportunity and had a great time trying their hand at the potter`s wheel. One of the ladies expressed the idea that she and her daughter could join the ceramics studio in the fall! Thus, the purpose of this lesson was practically fulfilled: to explore the possibilities of spending free time in Latvia!
