Slippers Illustrated by Children Exhibited at Nautica

An exhibition of slippers illustrated by  the children from Tallinn Children’s Home awaits visitors at the Nautica Shopping Center

Nautica Center opened an exhibition of illustrated slippers made by the children from Tallinn Children’s Home. Painted slippers were made in cooperation with the Accessories and Bookbinding Department of the Estonian Academy of Arts and the shoes were provided by Võru footwear manufacturer OmaKing.

The slippers illustrated by children of Tallinn Children’s Home were made in cooperation with OmaKing as a continuation of a workshop organized within a joint project of the Accessories and Bookbinding Department of the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) and Tallinn Children’s Home. The children were given a task of designing slippers according to their vision so that they could express themselves through art.

Teana Baskirtseva, a representative of the Nautica Center, said: “It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to hold such positive exhibitions at our center. We try to help the local community as much as we can, and inspired by this project, we decided that the Nautica Center will support the children of the Tallinn Children’s Home with drawing supplies and a Christmas donation.”

The exhibition features a total of 32 pairs of slippers designed by children participating in the project aged 7-17.

The exhibition of slippers made by Tallinn Children’s Home children is open at the Nautica Shopping Center from November 18 to January 10 on the second floor.
