At the Palace of Culture in Ungheni, young people discover rare crafts — origami, quilling and the art of pressed flowers

A creative workshop at the Palace of Culture gathered young people in Ungheni around four techniques with surprising stories: the Japanese folding of paper, the paper filigree once rolled on goose quills, the «painting» from pressed flowers once practised by samurai, and découpage. Beyond a pleasant afternoon, the workshop says something about what the town still offers its young people — in a district they are leaving.
