Plovdiv brings together master craftsmen with workshops and demonstrations

The project "Living Heritage of Traditional Crafts - Promotion and Inclusion" will bring together master craftsmen, museum professionals, young people and the general public in Plovdiv on March 14-15 in a two-day program dedicated to traditional crafts as living intangible cultural heritage.

Over the two days, the International Fair (Hall 8, 10:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) and the Regional Ethnographic Museum in Old Plovdiv (11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) will become spaces for learning by doing. In 12 workshops, visitors will be able to try out traditional techniques - working with wool and decorating, weaving on a small loom, woodcarving, ceramics, and other skills passed down from generation to generation. Ten master craftsmen from Plovdiv will demonstrate various crafts in the museum courtyard - from knifemaking and artistic ceramics to doll making, jewellery and embroidery, introducing visitors to the details of their work.
