During this two-weekend creative workshop, participants gain insight into the world of embroidered costumes from two distinctive Hungarian folk regions, Palóc and Kalocsa – from theory to practical application.
They learn the characteristic motifs, colour palettes, formal elements and traditional embroidery techniques of costumes from both regions. Following pattern analysis, they develop their own designs and then master and practice the basic embroidery techniques. They apply their newly acquired knowledge in contemporary forms suited to modern everyday life: drawing inspiration from traditional motifs, they design and create wearable costume pieces, accessories and functional objects that can be worn today.
The programme aims for participants to not only learn and practise this valuable craft heritage, but also develop it further through their own creative ideas, building a bridge between folk heritage and contemporary, unique material culture.
By the end of the two weekends, every participant leaves enriched with their own designs, practical experience and finished creations.
Theoretical and practical leader of the workshop: Jenei Anikó, folk craftsperson
Workshop duration: 30 hours
