The masks made by the Puškorys are lightweight, carved from carefully selected wood, comfortable and easy to wear. Witches and witches, merchants, cannabis, bacon, doctors, kipshas, beggars, all look down from the walls. The gaping toothless mouths, ham noses, horns and claws don’t frighten – the masks smile, the eyes twinkle… Raimundas Puškorius, currently the most active promoter of family traditions, can tell you endlessly about the fun and characters of the characters he has seen and experienced in his own eyes.

In the showcase of the Art Courtyard’s workshop, the textile masks of the family women Birutė Puškorienė (1923-1992), Raimundas’ mother, and Ona Barsteigienė (1931- 2014), the mother-in-law of her brother Linas, were ready for the Halloween. The knitted, crocheted, knotted and variously knotted lichinas of traditional holiday characters are a delight to the eye and bring a smile. Their simplicity and expressive features invite you to create your own light and comfortable Halloween mask.
Both exhibitions dedicated to Užgavėnai will be open at the Ethnocultural Centre until Užgavėnai. They are free to view.
