How the visit goes

01
Starting in the Guest house Fireplace Hall
Here, we greet each other, introduce ourselves, and briefly share the history of our company, its business ventures, and development. Then, we head to the workshop. As we step inside the workshop, we take in the scents of dyes, glue, and leather. We observe skilled leather craftsmen at work. We introduce everyone to different types of leather, as well as both modern and antique tools used in the trade. After the presentation, there is a Q&A contest.

Put yourself in the shoes of an artisan
We create a leather key chain or bracelet, personalizing it with monograms, Baltic symbols, zodiac signs, car brands, and other popular designs. After completing the hands-on activity, it’s time to relax. In a beautiful meadow by the river, we gather around a bonfire to enjoy herbal tea. We recommend bringing your own snacks.
