Creating gingerbread hearts

Discover the colourful tradition of gingerbread heart decorating and experience one of Slovenia’s most beloved craft traditions. During this hands-on workshop, participants will create and decorate their own gingerbread heart, inspired by a centuries-old craft that has long been associated with celebrations, affection, and gift-giving.

Using a variety of colours, patterns, and decorative techniques, you can personalise your gingerbread heart according to your own style. Choose from traditional ethnic motifs that reflect local heritage or create a contemporary design that expresses your creativity. Guided by experienced hosts, you will learn the decorative methods that have made gingerbread hearts cherished keepsakes throughout generations.

Alongside the creative experience, you will discover the fascinating history of gingerbread making and learn why decorated hearts became enduring symbols of love, friendship, and kindness. Once exchanged as meaningful gifts, gingerbread hearts remain an important part of Slovenian cultural heritage and continue to delight visitors today.

Suitable for all ages and skill levels, this workshop offers a fun and relaxing experience for individuals, families, and groups. At the end of the workshop, you will take home your own handcrafted gingerbread heart—a unique keepsake and a lasting reminder of your visit to House Stele.
