Week of Crafts 2018

In the last week of the month masters from all over the country will be gathering in the yard of the Ethnographic Museum. They will demonstrate their craft to show us their skills and to prove that the traditions are alive in our country.

There will be artists from different fields of craftsmanship - knives, guns, coppers, jewelers, masters of musical instruments, weavers, woodcutters, woodcarvers, felting, dolls, painted silk, painted eggs, stained glass, lace, knitting, and others.

This week will pass under the motto "Continuity" because it is most important for a master to hand over the craft, and how will this happen if we do not show or ignite the creative spark in the children themselves.

Like every year, guests and tourists in the museum will see craft demonstrations and will be able to get involved in making their own products. With dances and songs, they will immerse themselves in the Revival spirit of Kuyumdzhiev's house and yard. Folklore Dance Ensemble "Zagorovche" with artistic director Yordan Zelengorov will take care of the good mood on the opening day, Tuesday, and for Petrovden. The noise and creative vanity will bring guests to the charshia in the nineteenth century, and the celebration of Petroven will positively impact their emotions for weeks ahead.

The museum doors will be open from 9 am to 6 pm. The official opening will take place on June 26 (Tuesday) at 11.30 am.

The Other Music team (also known as "those boneheads who are at the foosball table all night") invites you to a first-of-its-kind event in rock bar Download with music we usually don’t listen to in the bar. We'll go through all sorts of heavy styles, from post-rock through hardcore to sludge and everything in-between and even a little synthwave. They will deliberately save the clichés.
