“The gnome girl Zuzanka and the gnome boy Vítek. Zuzanka is such a girly dragon who doesn’t sit still, she doesn’t stand still, Vítek is a thoughtful intellectual,” said Romana Jandourková – the author of the gnomes.

“They are made from ceramic clay, it is a classic technique of modeling from ceramic clay, and for me it is the most pleasant production material, because I have been growing up with it since I was a child. I come from a family that worked with ceramics, so it relaxes me,” said Romana Jandourková – author sprites.
“I take care of the sprites when I have free time, so I go around the whole thing and sometimes it happens that there is something a little damaged and I carry a service case with me in my backpack, I take it out and there are glues, so if I try, so I’ll fix it on the spot. Sometimes it happens that I have to take it home and fix it there,” said Jindřich Kozák – a member of the implementation team.
Each sprite has its own name and its own story. But their main common message is to give children and adults a purpose for walks.
