Masterclass “Maintenance of Wooden Windows with Edgars Raitums”

If your wooden windows are starting to show their age, but you’re not ready to part with their timeless charm, this hands-on masterclass might just be your window of opportunity.

Join certified restorer and traditional paint expert Edgars Raitums for a session on how to breathe new life into your historic frames. Expect plenty of practical demos, clever techniques, and a healthy dose of restoration wisdom to help you achieve stunning, lasting results through puttying, linseed oil painting, and modern insulation tricks that preserve the beauty while boosting the efficiency. The event is free of charge.

Advance registration is required. Places are limited.

The event will be photographed and filmed. The material will be used for publicity of the event, the Liepāja Restoration Centre and the Liepāja 2027 Foundation. By attending, you confirm that you are aware of and consent to possible inclusion in audio or visual recordings.

About the Project

The EIT Community New European Bauhaus (NEB) is funded by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology and supports citizens, grass-roots initiatives and startups that embody the core values of the European Commission’s New European Bauhaus movement (sustainability, inclusivity and beauty) through business creation & acceleration, funding, mentorship and network.

The Enhance NEB programme supports the scaling and replication of successful projects previously funded through Connect NEB or Co-create NEB. Delivered by the EIT Community New European Bauhaus and funded by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology, the programme funds consortia of cities, regions or municipalities and local organisations to expand or adapt initiatives that transform the built environment in line with NEB values of sustainability, inclusion, and aesthetics.

Since 2023, the Liepāja Restoration Centre has served as Latvia’s official partner of the New European Bauhaus, with additional support from the State Culture Capital Foundation’s “Development Programme for Latvian Historical Lands”, as part of the Kurzeme Culture Programme 2025, implemented by the Kurzeme Planning Region.
