  2. REGIONAL INSPIRATIONS „ Regional inspirations” only hint at the cultural abundance of the Podkarpackie Region. It is impossible to present th region’s wealth in full, all its hidden passion, its magical places and remarkable people. We invite you to take a trip around the Podkarpackie Region, in the course of which you will encounter still-living folklore. You will discover the art. Of folk pottery, customs inherent to baking bread you will meet talnted painters, sculptors, wicker-workers and other folk artists.

These places are cosy inns and taverns with a warm atmosphere and friendly hosts. REGIONAL CUISINE Not everybody knows what hreczanyky, gomółki, proziaki, kryżałki or bałabuchy are. However, anybody can taste these products that are so typical of our region. Prepared according to old recipes , passed down from one generation to another, from mather to daughter, they retain the magic of the old cuisine of the cultural frontier.

  4. POTTERY , CERAMICS In the second half of the 19th century, Medynia Głogowska with surrounding villages was a dynamic pottery centre that was one of the largest in Poland. At the time , around 120 pottery workshops operated there. Pots of various uses, ornamentation and shapes were produced. Today activities for organised groups as well as individual tourists are held in the Potter’s Cottage all year round. Under the supervision of potters you can learn to make pots on a wheel, make clay sculptures and fire ceramics in an oven.

  6. ICON PAINTING Gold is light, red stands for human nature and martyrdom, green – eternity, hope and youth; blue is the sky, depth and mystery, Two elements are of primary importance in icon painting – APPEARANCE and COLOUR. The artist always starts painting the icon from the head, as the head determines the size and positions of the body, and the remaining part of th composition. In Bieszczady the icon has been present since the arrival of the first settlers from Russia. Recently, the tradition of drawing icons in our region seems to be undergoing a revival. We invite you to visit the many workshops that attest to this fact.

  7. BLACKSMITHERY With the development of mass production in the 20th century, blacksmithery went into decline, and the role of the village blacksmith became limited to repairing tools. Several enthusiast decided to save the „dying occupation” of the blacksmith, and now in their forges they demonstarte how to work iron.

  8. ARTISTIC WEAVING The basic raw materials in folk weaving were natural : flax, hemp, cotton and wool. The weaving technique consisted in interwiningthe warp with the weft in accordance with a fixed order, using plaits in the old days women used to meet at looms, and today during the workshop you van recreate the same atmosphere and make your own magnificient tapestry yourself.

Whole families work with wicker, and the art of making unique artefacts in handed down from generation to generation. Because of the natural origin of the raw material and hand crafting, wicker products have a simple and singular charm and deserve to be classified as artistic handcraft.
