International meeting of wood carvers and craftsmen in Rokiškis |  Rokiškis |
From 13 to 19 September 2009, an international symposium of wood-carvers
and artisans was held in Rokiškis. 3 artisans and 3 students from Latvia
participated, as did 4 wood-carvers and an expert from Lithuania. The purpose of
the symposium was to cultivate the oid traditions of wood-working crafts and to
adapt them to contemporary conditions. It was decided to carve the family of Janis
and Maryte with their children, animals, birds, and fences, and to settle them in
the park of the RokiSkis Regional Museum next to the buildings of the homestead
of a 19th century peasant. Thus was the international craft celebration organised.
