The colorful embroideries woven into carpets, garments, covers are all around us. They are part of our heritage, of the folk handicrafts, handled from generation to generation since ancient times.
In the town Sliven (Bulgaria), in the Museum of the textile industry, (Branch of the National Polytechnic Museum in Sofia) you will learn many interesting things. How are these embroideries created? How does the idea for weaving come into being? How does this ancient handicraft develop through the centuries? A lot of my friends took part in the program “The weaving since ancient times up to the present”. They found there the answer to all these questions and created their own colorful embroideries.
