I’m organising a workshop for the inimitable Brigita Strods from Latvia, who will be at Latvian House in Melbourne to present her fabulous crowns workshop. Learn about the history of crowns, about Latvia’s crowns and wreaths and be inspired by a multitude of beautiful images as you fashion your own crown. All welcome, presentation in English and Latvian.

Saturday March 18th 2017, Melbourne Latvian House, at 10:30am. $35 includes material: $25 for students and Latvian Australian Artisans’ Association members. Enrol today through Facebook, or by contacting Māra Baumanis on 0433 812 244.

This is a fabulous opportunity to participate in an empowering event, and meet an inspiring woman. Brigita has had several crowns exhibitions, her work has repeatedly featured in the Latvian press, and she has held many workshops in Latvia and elsewhere in Europe to great acclaim. Her company name is Lastroda, check out her work! : http://lastroda.com/

Places are limited to 20, and 5 are already taken. Don’t fluff around, or you may miss out! PS Come early or stay late to enjoy the Baltic goodies from the Melbourne Latvian House café.
