OUR WORKSHOPS
2024
BERLIN
It was a great honor for us to participate in the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Croatian Cultural, Artistic, and Sports Community of Berlin in May 2024. We thank the president of the association, Karmen Meić, for the invitation, as well as the many children and parents who took part in our creative tie recycling workshop!

ROME – School Nitti
On May 20, 2023, in the Fleming district of Rome, the 2023 Intercultural Festival was held, celebrating the twinning between the Kruno Kristić School of Zadar and the I.C. NITTI of Rome. Our association participated in the extensive program by organizing the tie upcycling workshop.

ROME – Christmas workshop
Is there a better decoration under the Christmas tree than an ecofriendly nativity scene made with your own hands? We don’t think so, which is why we organized a Christmas workshop for making nativity scenes by upcycling ties. The workshop was extremely well attended, and everyone went home with their own unique handmade nativity scene.
2022
MOLIZAIKO
Warmed by the autumn sun, we enjoyed sewing traditional ‘spara’ in the beautiful square of the small town of Acquaviva Collecroce, where the Molise Croats, a Croatian national minority, has been living since 500 years.
2021
ROME
The desire to socialize is stronger than anything else and so, in compliance with the pandemic conditions, we gathered in large numbers to have fun and create DecoraTie Christmas decorations, recycling the ties for the joy of kids and grandparents. We made also unique CroaTie paintings, now a very popular classic in our workshops.
2019
MOLISE
On a beautiful autumn day, as part of the Molisaico project, we created lots of beautiful CroaTie paintings using the “applique” technique. Using sewing machines, we have made unique handbags using only three ties, thus creating, in the true sense of the word, beautiful zero waste accessories.
2018
ROME
The most popular proposal from our first workshop was the CrissCrossTie, a surprising double-faced scarf that is easy to make and with spectacular results. Those a little more courageous and experienced in working with patchwork techniques, were fascinated by the TableTie, tablet case. Our younger creators, on the other hand, have created wonderful CroaTie paintings to take home. Very charming and simple for realization was our practical BelTie case.
