Honeybread Heart Souvenir Workshop

We sat down and started to think about what would be a fun activity. We got the idea that the programs in Slovenia are very busy most of the time. We were not sure if the guests could buy local souvenirs. So here we are, why do not they create their own souvenir to take home. We researched the possibilities and found a nice lady who makes honey bread products with the local certifications. It was the first time we looked into the question of whether we could teach the customer the local handicraft knowledge of Slovenia. The baking of such honey bread is one of the oldest crafts in Slovenia, it was started by the old Slavs and it is believed that the craft is 1300 years old. In the 19th century there was a boom of such production, where they were baked for the church, family holidays and wedding gifts. The producers of honey bread sold their products at large fairs and markets, making them top souvenirs from Slovenia. The Honeybread lady came with all the materials and utensils. Everything was ready in a few minutes and the guests were free to come to work and make their own souvenir. The activity was a great success, because the guests found different reasons for making the souvenir, some made it for the children, others for the spouse, some designed their Christmas tree decorations, a future Valentine’s Day gift… everyone found something.
