I can\u2019t believe that half of January is already behind us. Time flies so fast that it\u2019s hard to keep up. Last weekend, I participated in a conference at the University of Folk Arts and Crafts ULRA in Wola S\u0119kowa. As usual, it was very creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, I continued my work on a Romanian lace doily, which is my big challenge. So far, I have used 60 meters of string that I crocheted myself. I am very proud of this project and hope to finish it by June.<\/p>\n\n\n

In addition, I had classes in Carpathian embroidery and folk singing. I learned a beautiful song called \u201cAn owl sits in the barn<\/a>\u201d, which has so much magic and charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, I immersed myself in the world of ceramics and glazing. I glazed my first clay work, which I made at ULRA. I can\u2019t wait to see the final effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also worked on weaving. I learned a carpet weave, which is very interesting and impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, I discovered the secrets of wet felting under the guidance of Joanna Wi\u015bni Rey, who runs the Artistic Weave Workshop in Jaros\u0142aw. I made a felt purse, I just need to sew a zipper and strap then will show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a round bottom from wicker and finished the bottom of a rectangular basket. I love working with natural materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, I learned to paint porcelain with a pen thanks to my roommate from the University of Folk Arts, Beata Kupiec. She creates amazing things in her Creative Hut<\/a> on Facebook. I recommend you check it out and admire her talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, I painted with oil paints for the first time in my life. It was a fantastic adventure. I fell in love with this technique and want to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n

As you can see, my weekend was full of creative energy and inspiration. Thank you ULRA giving me the opportunity of meeting inspiring people and for giving me a chance for personal advancement. I\u2019m looking forward to the next conference with impatience.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
