This 8-stop itinerary takes you on a discovery of the pearl of the Baltic, the city of Riga. The capital is home to many craftspeople practising traditional Latvian crafts like woodcarving, weaving, pottery and jewellery making. Wander through the historic old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, and witness how age-old techniques and innovative artisans breathe new life into cherished traditions.
Inheriting a passion from his father, Maris Auninš stands as one of the few jewellery makers in Latvia who personally cuts gemstones to reveal their true, natural beauty.
Take your first step in glass fusing with this 45-minute introductory lesson with glass sculptor Ilze Dūdiņa who will provide her guidance for you to create your own miniature object.
