This clay bird is not something to put on a shelf to collect dust on. You can play the whistle by covering and uncovering the holes and creating archaic melodies of 3-4 notes which will take you back to the olden days.

It's a gift to see the joy in child's eyes. If this little svilpaunieks can put a smile on youngster’s face, it’s a value. Spread the happiness!

I take a piece of Latvian clay and mould it with my hands until a little miracle is born.

This summer we noticed a beautiful and unseen bird in our backyard. Looking it up in the encyclopaedia we found out that it's a hoopoe - a rare bird species nominated as Latvia's Bird of the Year 2014. Celebrating this encounter we turned a piece of clay into this magnificent bird.
