On Saturday, April 1, 2017, the Song and Dance Ensemble "Kujawy" introduced us to the Easter mood. All this is due to the next meeting within the framework of the workshop "From the painted chest - We are painting eggs".

The egg is a dominant feature of Easter, carefully painted by a housewife in various ways, then blessed in a solemnly decorated basket. Easter celebration starts from consuming an egg which is the object of Easter plays in "bitki" and traditional ‘’kaczanie” or rolling the coloured eggs. Decorated in various ways, Easter eggs, collages are a central decoration of the Easter table. Although in shops you can buy ready-made Easter eggs today, no eggs have such charm as hand-painted, and the period before Easter is a good time to save the tradition of painting eggs.

The workshops of painting eggs in kuyavian patterns were led by a folk artist Krystyna Zagrabska.

The organizers provided the necessary materials and many attractions which were waiting for the guests: a commemorative picture with a beautifully painted board (a couple standing in front of the hut, with cut holes on the faces, in traditional kuyavian costumes).

The workshops enriched the artistic performances of the Song and Dance Ensemble "Kujawy".
