Olga Lagoda / Lagidna Maisternia

Hello. I am Olga. I lived in Ukraine all my life, thinking that I was a future engineer. Until I realized that it is possible to make money by a craft, to which I devoted my evenings and put my heart into. Now I enjoy weaving baskets and introducing the world to the paper weaving technique. I started learning to weave from paper 9 years ago by watching an online video. And only recently I realized how little is spoken about our weaving technique in Ukrainian. Therefore, I started filming master classes and gathering a community of Ukrainian basket weavers. My dream is for the world to learn about the practicality and beauty of paper baskets. That my creativity will continue to bring me not only pleasure, but also money for living. So that the world knows about Ukrainian basket weavers and the beauty, they create.
