summary of 2018

p style = “text-align: justify;”> Usually our life rushes like crazy. We decided that the end of the year and the beginning of a new one is a good moment to stop for a moment, look back and see if we managed to do something this year. And we are a little surprised that so much has come out: D Are you curious? We invite you for a quick review of 2018 at the Opolskie Dziouchy:)
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

After quick calculations it turned out that we were participating in six large trade fairs in the country (Tourism Fair in Opole, Easter Fair in the open air museum, Barbórka in the middle of summer in Tarnowskie Góry, Fair Tastes of Regions in Poznań, Christmas Fair in TG) and abroad (European Farmers’ Fair in Rammelsbach- Germany).
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

We’ve organized thirteen artifacts, mainly from porcelain painting. We thought it would be a great challenge to run workshops for a group of 9 guests from France, Spain and Lithuania. As it turned out, it was a piece of a cake compared to the workshops for a group of 26 teachers from all over Europe! A novelty this year was for us to organize workshops on decorating “kroszonki” and baking gingerbread and decorating them in the Opole pattern, as well as wreath workshops with a photo session. As usual, you surprised us with your attendance, interest and abilities!
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

It was important for us to win the “Internet Revolutions” contest organized by Google Poland. For half a year we were learning everything that we always needed while running the project and seemed secret knowledge. It turned out that we can do it!
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

It was equally important for us to be honored in the competition for Postcard from Opole, organized by “Opolski Projektor Animacji Kulturalnych OPAK”. The postcard from Opole was an inspiration for us to create the Opolskie Dziouchy project 🙂 The postcard was designed for us by Marta Stopikowska.
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

Thanks to the fact that in our group there are super girls with magical talents, such as photography, make’up or binding of headscarves We made an extraordinary photo session for Milena, who lost her hair due to illness. If even for a moment we made Milena forget about the disease and she felt good, it was the greatest success for us!
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

Another charity project for CH Turawa Park provided us with more emotions. On the occasion of the bicycle rally, Karolina Procajło prepared a special graphic with the Opole pattern. Like another project, but when we saw this critical mass of people in T-shirts with our design and these two children with t-shirts reaching to the knee … you understand that the tear had the right to fly.
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

Another great surprise was the fact that we were invited as experts for various lectures and events. It was difficult to accept but even more difficult to refuse;) We would like to remember the participation in Mixers organized by the Science and Technology Park in Opole or participation in the World Entrepreneurship Week in Opole. A meeting with students of Opole schools at the Music School was a novelty for us.
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

Great joy, but also a lot of work brought us a draft guide for children in Opole. Thanks to the fact that we got a “free” artistic hand, we could implement our boldest ideas and not compromise on artistic and aesthetic ones. Thanks to this, our guide was fully created! After all, children are smaller adults and they deserve to be taken seriously and not with pink and infantile drawings;)
& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

A huge distinction was for us (and is still) partnership in organizing the exhibition “A city from porcelain.” Views of Tarnowskie Góry on Carnalla’s website ” . We are very pleased that the Silesia Province welcomed us so warmly and heartily.
& Nbsp;

This year we tasted in celebrity and fame! We are joking 🙂 Every now and then someone invited us to the radio, television or an interview. We apologize in advance that we could not be everywhere – after all, we all work full-time, and holidays this year somehow quickly ended. We did not want to jump out of the fridge and torment you with your presence, but we did some interviews;) and the cover in Gazeta Wyborcza magazine already framed will be a nice memory for retirement!
& Nbsp;

This year was extremely busy, but extremely successful. We would not have been able to do all of this without the support of the wonderful people we meet on our way. There is no way to list them all here (we would sit on this entry until March probably), but we would like to thank everyone here for their support, help in organizing events and fairs. That you invite us to the media, that you want to listen to us, that you give your loved ones our porcelain. We also thank our relatives for understanding that we are often not at home, that we work even after Christmas Eve or on your birthday and name day. For that you wait patiently when we take a picture during the holidays – necessarily with a cup or a bag. Thank you for being with us – that means a lot to us.
