Zalipie

Tradition started more than a century ago, when every single female in Zalipie begun to paint her home with floral motives as they wanted to cover up dirt from soot and smoke with white paint and then colorful patterns.



Women didn’t have professionall equipment, so they made the brushes themselves using cow hairy tails.



Their paint was made with powdered dye and milk.






Flower patterns are unique. They do not copy any particular kind of flower.
