An embroidery course begins at the Wittenstein Activity Museum
The year 2024 has been declared the year of folk costumes by the Estonian Folk Art and Handicraft Union. Since 2005, the theme of the year has been chosen to introduce a wider and deeper field of handicrafts. In the framework of this, thematic study days, competitions and exhibitions are organized and specialist literature is published. The theme of the years 2024 and 2025 is squared in folk dress. This year’s theme baton has been handed over to the folk costume for two years. The theme of the year, National costume squared, means that the theme of national costume is highlighted in an amplified way, with soul and depth. There are two years, so there are more activities within them than before – double, multiplied, squared.
In the autumn season, an embroidery course will start in the clothing part of the exhibition of the Wittenstein Activity Museum (Paide linn, Tallinna Street 9/11). During the course under the supervision of Kadi Vingisaar, master of folk costume and master of creative applications of cultural heritage of UT VKA and consultant of the Järvamaa folk costume advisory board, you can make embroidery for the sleeves, shirts, tanus, linings or aprons of folk costumes.
The course takes place on four Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (14.09.2024; 05.10.2024; 16.11.2024 and 07.12.2024).
The price of one meeting is €35. The price of materials is added.
