Children come together in a special place where they can practice handicrafts and tackle into the crafts’ mysteries, inherited from their ancestors. Children in Săbăoani weave, sew, embroider, love the folk costume and learn to create wonderful things. They represent a new generation of children that learn to carry further the wonderful customs and traditions from the places in Neamț County.

Maria Robu is the one who represents the thread between the old generation and the new one. She is both a folk craftsman and a dedicated teacher at the School and at the Workshop in the village.
