| Summary: | This international project highlights the renewing European folk traditions with the different styles and techniques implemented in nonprofessional art that gets its power from folk traditions and folk art. It will produce models of how traditions of wood carving and folk culture can be used to develop activities that enrich both the environment and the community. Self‐taught artists of wood sculpting from different countries will meet and exchange skills and techniques. Young people will be taught in workshops how to sculpt and use tools. The works of the artists will be brought out for public viewing in exhibitions, festivals, competitions, performances, publications, and workshop activities. |
