Top Chisinau Classes & Workshops

The visit through the small workshop where the wooden toys are born begins with a few short demonstrations so that the visitors can understand how the wood is processed to become a toy. After we see how the toys are made, we wear aprons and invite the visitors to work, we craft windmill, helicopter or cottage which we then paint. In the workshop we have available brushes, special paint and a guide to coordinate the children. Then the painted toy is taken home!

Roughly translating to "sky people," the Gagauz are a unique blend of ethnically Turkic and Christian Orthodox, that live in the south of Moldova.
