Diverse, unique, creative, and eco-friendly - that's the meaning behind the name of the exhibition RUKE (Hands). It represents an association of craftspersons - creatives from all over Croatia who, through guest sales exhibitions and workshops, present and sell Croatian handicrafts and teach visitors creative craftsmanship.
From 9 am to 10 pm, various decorations and souvenirs made from different natural materials are on offer, such as stone, ceramics, olive wood, wicker, and recycled cotton, among others. The members of the RUKE association also hold practical workshops. Residents of Novigrad and city guests have the opportunity to dive into the world of creative creation, learning from skilled craftsmen. The most numerous participants are curious children. Free creative workshops for all ages await you on both days from 11 am to 7 pm, in the pleasant ambiance of the Novigrad fishermen's park by the Mandrač harbor.
