The Guide

Vita Kāpostiņa-Tuče. When I was a teacher in Špoģi Music and Art School, I worked out a program and ran courses in floristry and weaving for adults. During our classes we went outside, collected materials, made bouquets and compositions of natural materials according to the season. Before Christmas we made Advent wreaths, Christmas compositions and organized exhibitions. In order to weave we colored woolen yarn using both natural and chemical colorings. In addition, adults acquainted with different weaving traditions in Latvia and each participiant weaved a patterned cloth. Some women weaved approximately a three-meter long belt. They practised in weaving mini tapestry and rag carpets as well. Last year in November I shared my experience with the leader and her colleagues of Naujene House of Culture. The aim of the meeting was to help them to acquire weaving in different styles and run a workshop for inhabitants of Naujene parish. I still consult adults in Špoģi Music and Art School and help them in fixing looms and weaving. Together with my colleague in Malta secondary school Nr.2 we ran different workshops for school guests. In the frame of this project I helped to run a workshop dealing with decorating cotton bags. It was the first time when I participated in an international project.
