Last Wednesday, October 15, the volunteers of IB Polska, together with Aneta, held the first session of what will become a series of biweekly craft workshops at the IB Polska Nowa Huta office, every other Wednesday afternoon.

To celebrate the arrival of October, we couldn’t have chosen a more fitting theme , we created decorative pumpkins using recycled materials. We made them from reused fabrics, old yarn, and bits of thread, and, of course, plenty of creativity.

Several local residents joined us to learn how to make these cheerful, colorful pumpkins to decorate their homes. It was a joyful afternoon where we shared stories, experiences, and a warm atmosphere that brought everyone together.

When the pumpkins were finished, the participants were delighted with the results, some even wanted to make more in different colors to enhance their autumn décor. A few of them also asked about upcoming workshops!

And here’s a look at the final result of the pumpkins we created together:

Besides this fun session, we already have many more ideas in store for the next workshops, we’ll be announcing them soon on our social media channels.

See you at the next one!
