04.04.2022 - 09:58
Latvian National Culture Centre has been organising the project "Meet Your Master!" for thirteen years now. Traditionally, it will be implemented together with the international event - European Artistic Crafts Days (since 2002). In 2019, this project brought together 16 European countries in over 9000 events taking place in various cities, from Paris to Berlin, Warsaw, Florence, Vilnius, and Riga.

Traditionally, the Ventspils House of Crafts participates in these activities, and this year is no exception! This year, all those interested in these activities will have the opportunity to learn more about different types of knitting shoulder scarves and socks, colourful embroidery, as well as about weaving without looms.
"The work of Latvian masters is highly appreciated, be it a fashion show, interior design, restoration work or reconstruction of items, based on old sketches and drawings," says Linda Rubena, an expert in folk applied arts of Latvian National Culture centre.
