A series of six craft workshop sessions that explores the folk embroidery traditions of Zala and historical Zala County through creative work.
The aim of the workshops is creative immersion, professional experience exchange, and experiential engagement with tradition.
The program emphasizes authentic motif use, material knowledge, and enabling participants to experience tradition as living, further-developable knowledge.
The workshop sessions are creative studios and do not qualify as training or further education under applicable legislation.
We particularly welcome applications from:
– folk artists

– those interested in Hungarian folk art.
