Zhivitsa – is the tar, exuded by coniferous trees. It rises up from their roots and nourishes their trunks and their branches. So do the arts and crafts traditions- they rise up from the depths of centuries and fill up with contemporary content. Handmade things keep the warmth of their author hands; each of them is unique and made with love. At the heart of each creation lies author’s idea, fantasy, impression or emotion.

We invite you to the Zhivitsa Workshops. Here we create our own things and admire those, made by the others. We participate in exhibitions and organize them ourselves. We are interested in the traditional and new creativity techniques and materials. Welcome to the world of Handmade Art.
