What you do

🐥 Easter Egg Wax‑Painting Workshop – Discover the “Svilopis” Tradition On Friday, 27 March, from 18:00 to 21:00, the Travno Cultural Centre is hosting a special Easter egg decorating workshop focused on the traditional wax‑resist technique from the Vinkovci region. In that area, an Easter egg decorated in this way is called “svilopis” – a small piece of folk art that once told stories about the identity and heritage of the people who made it. The workshop is led by Nikola Šuća, one of the few remaining masters of wax‑decorated eggs, who learned this skill from his mother and continues a long‑standing Slavonian tradition. Through hands‑on practice, you will learn how to apply melted wax to eggs, how to layer colours and how to create a true svilopis – a multicoloured egg made by repeating the wax‑and‑dye process. ​ ​You’ll be perfectly on time for Easter with your own hand‑decorated eggs. 😄

Studio

The Center for Traditional Cultural Heritage unites the activities of the Costume Lending Library and Workshop with the International Folklore Review Zagreb. It operates as a branch in the Travno Cultural Center. In 2021, the Costume Lending Library and Workshop changed its name to the Center for Traditional Cultural Heritage because, as an institution, it expanded its scope far beyond its original purpose. The Center remains a specialized institution focused on collecting, renting, reconstructing, restoring, and conserving folk costumes, folkloric attire, and traditional textile items. It also promotes and explores various ways to use these costumes in modern life, conducts educational programs, and researches diverse possibilities for their folkloric and stage applications. In addition, the Center organizes the International Folklore Review Zagreb, the largest and most prestigious folk event in the country. By the size of its collection and the scope of its activities, it is a unique institution of its kind in the Republic of Croatia. Over more than seventy years, the collection has amassed over 36,000 diverse pieces of folk costumes, attire, and stage folkloric props from around 300 different locations.
