Many people in Lithuania probably know that enamel is suitable not only for coating pots. Enamel is an old and complex field of jewelry art that requires not only artistic skill, but also very good craft knowledge, patience and knowledge. Therefore, there are not many authors who have mastered this field. And they usually don’t want curious outsiders poking around their workshop. However, creating enamel is a very exciting and inspiring process. In the symposium, special attention is paid to partition enamel, the subtleties of its technique are revealed. That’s why the “Meno niša” gallery is opening the doors of the enamel workshop, which will be open to everyone all week.

The workshop will be led by artist and jeweler Marytė Dominaitė Gurevičienė.

September 16 – 19 12.00 – 18.00 the enamel art workshop will be open to visitors, and the enamel art exhibition will be open.
