Cornhusk products and folklore courses - Bechlín

History and products

In Bechlín, Mrs. Šustrová started making products from cornhusks in 2012. In 2015, she started producing figurines for nativity scenes. The rustle she uses is from her own garden or from the fields around Bechlín. The unique active Podřipský nativity scene has grown to extraordinary dimensions of 4×2×1m. This nativity scene is currently unique in the Czech Republic.

Courses

Throughout the year, Jiřina Šustrová organizes courses of folk art.

Old Bohemian pastries - in this course you will learn how to bake Old Bohemian gingerbread, unleavened, so-called Vizovice pastries, sourdough pastries and also so-called ceremonial pastries.
Production of figurines - from corn husks or straw products.

Courses are prepared for groups, ideally from 5 to 10 participants. But after a telephone agreement, it is also possible to arrange an individual course. Materials for the course are arranged by the Sales Workshop of Folk Tradition.

Ms. Štyrandová is the holder of the ČESKÉ STŘEDOHOŘÍ regional produkt® certification for Folk Art Courses and Corn Whiskey Products.
