Amateur Day Maltā

The day of the Rēzekne Municipality Day IN Maltas parish was a huge and gorgeous festival throughout the day. Already at 04.00 In the morning, Cora's “Madarina” singer gathered at the cultural house to go and Mežaparte cheered along with THE MEMBERS of THE VIII World Choice Olympics. On the other hand, 11.00 at Maltas cultural house, all interested in the creative workshop “mounting coins, hoofs and nails” was waiting for a servant from Riga Jānis banka. It was possible to remove a hook, a nail, or a coin with initials, leaving it to be a memorial. The chapel “Malta” received a hooch with “Malta luck”.
At the same time 11.00 could go, visit and try hand-to-hand workshops in the field of ceramic Aivars Ushpeel, Jakovičs' village. The breeze and Aivars Ushpei have created a corner of nature for the soul, as they get out of the car with peace and silence, in which the day-to-day haste is faded, as the child is delighted of the Green grass, the chews and the trees. The practical and diverse application of the clay works is surprising. Signs, leaves, and other prints in the clay, for which the commissioner of the clay has his story, both humor and seriously. Aivars Ushmis, a ceramic now in the fourth generation, expects every visitor sincerely.
Plumping. 14.00 an exhibition of Maltas parish craftsmen was discovered, which combined thirteen chuckle, active craftsmen and artists. We have to do everything, only to see and be able to convert the clay into dishes and vases, as Aivars Ushmis is doing, metal -- rotas (Rihards Ciblis), wool-yarn stockings (Sylvia Smirnova) and crochets (Jadviga Okuņevica). It looks at the bedside blankets and the shoulder cloaks, the linen thread blankets and the tablecloth, the baskets and vases of Olitas Strelkova. You can only admire how a white silk canvas can be converted into a coloured scarf or a scarf Sandra Schtekel, put a stiff nose and throw up a folk belt, make gloves, throw a shawl, and throw the necklace Rita Sinkavska from the pearls, and the various compositions from the pearls make up alla Antonov. Latgale landscape colors are enriched in their paintings by our old master, Bronieislavs Pavlovskis, while a modern look is in Ushmouse paintings. It is important to know and love the world of color and look for your way, as Oļesja Shadhett does. At 15.30, everyone was able to participate in the creative workshops with the authors of the exhibition.
On the other hand, a 10-year performance anniversary of the field chapel “Malta” was heard in the cultural house. Special visitors – folk group “Rotjupis veiri” from Varkava municipality.
In parallel with the creative workshops, there was a street concert involving the “Kalinuska”, the 2 nd secondary school dance collective, the chapel “Malta”, the line-dance group “sneakers”, the anamblis “salvia”, the blower orchestra “Vicords”, the folk group “Rotžupis veiri”. At the end of the festival, all collectively agreed to a joint concert and danced at the Green party.
