# Craftsmanship at the Kernavė Living Archaeology Festival

BureBure on Instagram: "I really wanted to write about the craftsmen at the Kernavė Living Archaeology Festival. About the archaeologists who bring the work of long-gone artisans back to life. About all that incredible knowledge, patience, and skill.
But the person who impressed me the most was 11-year-old Uršulė and her little team.
And there is a lovely irony in that.
At a festival created to admire the work of ancient, long-gone masters, and to celebrate the knowledge of archaeologists who recreate it, I found myself completely fascinated by a young person standing right in front of me — a future craftswoman, I hope.
A group of children of different ages, including a boy called Daumantas, set up next to our bird enclosure. People first noticed the hats Uršulė was weaving from maple leaves. But very quickly it was not only the hats anymore — it was watching her work.
She was focused. Calm. Precise. Her fingers moved so quickly and confidently that I simply could not stop watching. She worked like a real craftswoman.
And judging by the faces around me, I was not the only one fascinated.
The next day, the whole gang came over to my table and confidently announced that they wanted to learn felting.
Within about an hour they had learned to make felt balls, a coaster, a phone sleeve… and by the end they were already making a felted hat.
How?!
Who are these incredible kids?
I sincerely hope Uršulė never gives up making things with her hands. Because with talent like hers, if she keeps nurturing it, she could become an absolutely extraordinary artisan.
