TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WEEK 2015

REGIONAL ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM – PLOVDIV

Is pleased to invite You to

TRADITIONAL CRAFTS WEEK

Ninth Edition

June 22 – 28, 2015


Dear friends,

Once again craftsmen from all over Bulgaria will gather in the courtyard of Regional Ethnographic Museum – Plovdiv in the last week of June. Amidst blooming roses, stone walls and Baroque architecture we will present You traditional crafts that have survived till nowadays.

This year we organise workshops where everyone can make their first steps in their chosen craft under the guidance of a master craftsman.

Every day of the Week craftsmen and craftswomen will demonstrate their skills in the courtyard of Kujumdzhioglu's house. The potter wheel will spin and the shuttle will weave. Everyone can make a jewel, a vessel, a colourful rug, a wooden spoon or something else and take it back home as a souvenir and gift.

We will stimulate the interest of children and young people in traditional crafts and meet them with the professional craftspeople. Here they can feel the magic of turning ideas into real unique items – the skill that makes a craftsman creator.

Together we will celebrate one of the best Bulgarian holidays – St. Enyo's Day. We will make wreaths and chant bunches of flowers that Enyo's Bride will use for divination. We will learn more about the healing powers of herbs. According to the old Bulgarian traditions there will be songs and horo dances on the yard and many surprises for you to remember your visit in REM – Plovdiv.

Welcome to Regional Ethnographic Museum – Plovdiv in the week between June 22nd – 28th, 2015.
