Workshops
This year dancing and folk arts workshops will be held as usual though with slight alterations in their program. What’s new? There will be presented workshops on the traditional Hebrew dances, on embroidery, on making paper decoration and many others. It’s for the first time when in the frameworks of «Sheshory» will be held a workshop on «authentic singing». For some of workshops one should have only the desire to learn, for the rest — some specific instruments (this is described in the detailed description of the workshops). The program to be supplemented.

Using improvisational techniques within the niggunim, people find a way to express themselves through their own musical language
A reeled doll is in the same time a periapt and an archetype of a mother, a child, a kin
The technique of such painting is very difficult and requires some skills and artistic flair
Patchwork is a technique of sewing using patches. It can be easily called an ecological technique because new linen is made from the small patches cut out from the things which have already been used before
