Overview

After meeting your guide, explore the realities of the Roma community in Romania and visit a genuine workshop in the city center, where Roma craftsmen, also known as Gypsies, create and market their pieces. Choose your desired piece of jewelry to craft under the guidance of an authentic Roma artisan. You'll take your crafted jewelry home with you at the end of the workshop.

Although the activity focuses on learning the art of copper crafting, you can opt for the upgraded version featuring silver.

By the end of your visit, you'll have gained insight into the history of the Roma population in Romania and developed your own thoughts and views through real experiences and interactions with authentic Roma representatives.

What's included

  • Workshop with a local Roma craftsman & your own crafted jewelry to take home
  • Coffee and/or Tea
  • Lunch
  • For the silver option, you have to pay extra 2 USD/gram of silver, maximum 25 grams

What to expect

Discover the truths of the Roma community in Romania and engage with a genuine Roma artisan, mastering the craft of copper work. Unleash your creativity by fashioning your own jewelry!

Little is known of Roma craftsmen and their ancient skills. Recognition of this cultural heritage can both contribute to changing attitudes towards the Roma and provide an opportunity to help families overcome the grinding poverty in which too many of them live.
