NIKA'S TINY HOUSE (Nika Domnik from Slovenia)
Within the project we hosted a young craftsman Nika Domnik who produces works of art from materials that the sea leaves on the shore. She presented us how her wooden houses are made:

The pupils wondered how long does it take to produce a single piece of art.
After her presentation students were full of ideas and they started with their own work. They created a town by the sea from wood, cardboard and other materials.
