Demonstration of an ancient craft of felting by master Svetlana Kamps

On September 21, 2024, from 11 am to 1 pm at the Regional Ethnographic Museum – Plovdiv, you will witness the demonstration of an ancient craft. Felting has been known for centuries. The secret messages hidden in the felt carpets are passed down from generation to generation. Today, jewelry, wall hangings, Martenitsa, home decoration items, etc., are made of wool. The richness of these products in their variety of colors, ornaments, and compositions, as well as being handmade, make them unique.

In the museum, Svetlana Kamps will show the general public how our ancestors felt. Each visitor can touch the wool and learn how to create with it. Svetlana Kamps is a felting craft master, who graduated from the International School of Felting and Arts in Oberroth, Germany.

More upcoming information is due in September.
