Color embroidery-in its early period, the art of embroidery developed on the rich heritage of Slavic embroidery.

Artistic woodcarving-processing, cutting and shaping wood with an applied and decorative purpose by using various tools.

Plastene-in the past, there was an old Bulgarian craft, which produced fabrics of woven textiles. Probably this is the oldest technique for making textiles.

Weaving-besides the dexterity and the creative instinct of the Bulgarian people, in its weaving art are intertwined borrowings from other ethnicities and nations, imported from historical contacts,invasions,trade exchanges.

Immerse yourself in the charm of the past and return hundreds of years back in time!
