6.1 PRESENTATIONS OF THE FOLLOWING WORK OF LASOWIAKS AND RZESZOWIAKS - Kolbuszowa

            This event is the leading "product" of the Kolbuszowa open-air museum. Presentations of Folk Art of Lasowiaks and Rzeszowiaks is the largest annual open-air event organized in the open-air museum since 1997. Its main assumption is to show disappearing crafts and authentic folk art. As the name of the event suggests, it is the people of Lasowiacy and the inhabitants of Rzeszów being the main, and actually the only, theme of the event. At this time, beekeepers, embroiderers, toy makers, painters, sculptors and many other craftsmen come to the Kolbuszowa open-air museum. The topic is different every year, so visiting an open-air museum is never boring.

            The shows at the farms are accompanied by performances of folk bands focusing on the traditions and rituals of the region. Folk bands and dance groups present the authentic folklore of Lasowiaks and Rzeszowiaks.

            Various crafts are presented at individual objects: tailoring, embroidery, corsetry, sewing „magierki”, weaving straw hats, wrapping wreaths of tissue paper, pressing linseed oil, pottery, ceramic sculpture, toy making, wicker braiding, straw braid, plaiting pine root, carving, cut-out, painting or folk ornaments.

            The program of the event always includes a fair of regional cuisine, liqueurs and artistic handicrafts.
