Wood carvers Budich, Budrevich, and Denis Demko attracted a lot of attention to their works. One guest took a liking to a carving by the latter depicting a street in an old town and wanted to buy it, but the carver showed an engraved inscription on the back: "To my beloved grandmother..." However, his wooden "расхлябанные" (loose/floppy) shoes were in high demand, selling for 30 and 40 thousand [currency units].
A true potter spins the wheel, and a clay pot grows as if on yeast! Just like in the city of masters on the Slavyanka river. Sergey Shcherba, the owner of the "Akarina" agro-estate from Postavy district, demonstrated his skills. He also sells popular clay whistling musical instruments: akarinas, akarinki, vesnyanki, and belt pipes. Nearby, Viktor Dudkevich, a methodologist-master from the Glubokoye House of Crafts, displayed various handmade items. Of course, the people of Lepel did not stay away from the festival either. All of them cannot be counted – all types of folk craftsmanship are represented. Roza Smirnova offered woven items from willow. Antonina Shunevich, the owner of the "Beseda" agro-estate from Punishcha, advertised her homemade honey: "It helps with all illnesses. Aurotherapy (bee contact therapy) rejuvenates the body and puts the nervous system in order."
Nearby, craftswomen Olya Gonchar, Galya Zhuravleva, and Nina Bannikova displayed their works.
