About

An art workshop for kids and their parents in "Maestro i uczniowie," the exhibition on the Cieplice woodcarving school and its teacher Cirillo dell'Antonio. Kids play detective among the carved pieces, hunting for traces of handwork, and find out how a craftsman's work differs from mass production. Then each designs an ornament of their own, inspired by the school's carvings.
