Educational activities

The educator invites you to unique experiences that combine craft, artistic expression, and philosophy. Giedriaus's classes are designed for everyone - from the youngest curious ones, who are introduced to art through play, to adults seeking creative freedom and experimentation.

• Raku pottery technique. Guests are introduced to the ancient and exciting method of firing ceramics. Participants create and decorate their own cups, watching how the pieces, heated to a temperature of 950 degrees, later cool in sawdust, acquiring unpredictable and unique patterns.

• Leaven ceramics. This is one of the oldest methods of decorating ceramics, the process itself is very interesting, the works are heated to red heat and dipped into leaven from the oven, a reaction occurs and the leaven stains the ceramic work with black patterns.

• Sculpture Park . In the sculpture park established in Antalge, visitors can not only view large-scale metal works or installations, but also see a unique collection of matchbox labels and interact with the animals living on the farm.
