12. Visiting a local museum
The “Museum of national crafts and applied arts" in town of Troyan is housed in a building from 1881 - the first post-
liberation public building in the town. The museum was inaugurated on 10.03.1968 on the occasion of 100 anniversary of
declaring of Troyan for a town.
The museum exhibits are displayed in 10 halls. There are shown samples and original objects and equipment related to the
traditional crafts in Troyan region - pottery, woodcarving and woodworking, metalworking, pyrography, iconography, copper-
working, goldsmith, making of traditional costumes, etc.
Aims
form critical thinking, empathy, and other generally important skills and dispositions in our pupils.
make familiar with Museums and Bulgarian traditions by teach subject-specific content and skills.
get the kids excited about school subjects.
expand the knowledge of our students about local crafts.
One of the oldest traditional handcrafts in Bulgaria is pottery. Troyan ceramic is decorated with a special technique using
colors inspired by the nature – yellow, green, brown. The usual patterns for the pottery from the city of Troyan are butterfly,
wheat, heart, peacock’s eye etc.
15. Visiting and Learning from Craftspeople
The decorations and the forms of the Troyan Pottery are cleverly cleaned in time, but the roman traditional icing on the pottery itself is still
being used to this day by the modern pottery-masters. Renaissance decorations express elements of the everyday life of the Troyan citizen,
from his clothing and the nature surrounding him. These are the so-called “spuski”, “polivki”, “stecheni kapki”, “hearts”, “gaitani”,
“ohliovici”, “stoborki”, “limbi”, “bairak”, “wheatear”, “peacock eye”, “butterfly wings” and many other. Inspired by the craftsmanship of
Zachary Zoraph the “Zachary flowers” are included in Troyan pottery as well as clothing and carts. The dishes that the Balkan woman has in
her home are also made out of clay. Iced, engraved or emboss lined colored with soft earth tones, the pottery is something more special than
ordinary goods. They are art, created by the human hand, craftsmanship and imagination.
In the middle of the 19th century the Pottery Guild grew into an organization, along with the Shoemaking Guild and half a century later the
first Pottery school was found, that grew into a High School in the late 20th century with the main course of pottery. In time Troyan potters
defined their own style with over 60 ceramic forms: for the kitchen, for the table, for rituals, for holding, for the building and architecture,
even kids’ toys.
The Museum of National Arts and Crafts in Troyan is the first of its kind in Bulgaria. The museum follows the story and presents the typical
features of the crafts to its visitors. The Museum of Crafts’ Exposition consists of 11 chambers. Each and every one of them is presented
with a different craft – pottery, wood carving, metal carving, traditional textiles and clothing. The tools used in each and every one of the
crafts are also displayed, along with the finished products themselves
16. Visiting and Learning from Craftspeople
The pottery style practiced today began in the 19th century based on Slavic and Thracian patterns. The terra cotta clay from the region has a

THE ART OF THE MINIATURE IN THE CRIB
Our pupils have had two moments of relevance with the
presence of craftspeople.
The first, theoretical, was characterized by the
interesting explanation of the symbolic role of the
"historical" figures of the Neapolitan crib. Each character
of the crib hides a fascinating story.
Then, our kids learnt the allegory of miniatures, they are
objects, accessories that complete the figures and
scenes of the crib, such as the arts and the arts that
represent the months of the year.
In a second day of learning crafts, the craftsman
explained how to make a wicker basket and how to
manipulate the modeling dough to produce fruit and
vegetables for the crib miniatures that help to enrich and
define the scenes.
Finally, our pupils made delicious baskets full of fruits
and vegetables.
NATIVITY SCENE
The workshop took place in two meetings.
The cribmaster met children for the first time and
introduced the magic of the Neapolitan crib of the
eighteenth century, recalling history, art and culture.
He showed finely crafted shepherds, over 30 cm tall,
with glass eyes and fine dresses. The clay was
manipulated to compose the characters in all their
parts.The body takes shape first, The shape of a ball
is given to the head and is added to the body with the
help of a stick. The arms and legs were manipulated
with small pieces of clay.The head, the face and the
beard for St. Joseph and the veil for Mary, were
finely dug with a wooden stick. The cribmaster
cooked the characters in a special oven called
"pozzetto" and cooled down for more than 12 hours.
In the second meeting the children painted them and
the workshop ended with the drying of the colors.

34. Graphic workshop on the lace
Our pupils went to visit the museum Baron Gerard in Bayeux.
Firstly, they stuck a picture (flower, butterfly…) on a sheet of paper which had a lace’s background. Then, they
drew graphics around the picture to extend it. Under, they wrote the initial name.
After, they drew flowers, leaves, circles…
After that, they engraved a pattern on a foam with a gouge. And, they painted the foam with black paint to do an
effect pinter. Then, they put an other paper on this black paint and squashed with a roller.
They were very happy to the result.
Eventually, they put a lace’s paper to paint differents patterns in black around the first paper.
It was very beautiful !
This work was amusing and interesting !

54. Lefkaritiko embroidery
Its handmade lace linens - known as ‘Lefkaritika’ – are world-famous, and a proud and prevailing tradition with invaluable
cultural significance for both Lefkara and Cyprus. It is no wonder then that the skilled art has been recognised with its
inclusion on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage List, which is defined as ‘practices, representations, expressions,
knowledge and skills’ from around the world that are protected for their invaluable cultural heritage.
The skilled tradition of lace-making in Lefkara has been practised exclusively in the village since Venetian times (1489-1570
AD), when the village was a holiday resort for nobles, and the Venetian noblewomen taught the locals how to make the
exquisite drawn-and-counted thread embroidery. The linens became an important trade for Lefkara and were world-
renowned, and it is said that even the great painter Leonardo Da Vinci bought a large tablecloth for the altar of the Milan
Cathedral when he visited the village.
The lace is made by hand in designs combining four basic elements: the hemstitch, cut work, satin stitch fillings and
needlepoint edgings to form embroidered linens such as tablecloths, napkins and show pieces. These linens are made in
just 10 designs on Irish linen with French thread. They are reversible and are made in only three colors – white, brown and
beige. Only lace made in Lefkara in the traditional way is considered to be authentic. When visiting the village you will see
the ladies of Lefkara sitting outside their homes, busily hand-embroidering, whilst you can also find the pieces in souvenir
shops across the island.
55. Fithkiotiko embroidery
Fythkiotiko is the most well – known type of Cypriot weaving. The name comes from
the village of Fyti which seems to have played an important role in its development.
The Fythkiotika are characterized by multicolored geometrical embossed or plumes, as
they are called by the weavers which are formed into cotton material of natural colour.
The plumia usually have intense colours such as blue, red, green, orange and yellow.
They are made during the embroidery with the use of thick coloured threads which are
placed by the embroiders between the yarn.

Pottery
Pottery is a very ancient craft on the island, with the red clay vessels constituting an integral part of daily
life in olden times when they were used to store and transport liquids such as wine and water, as well as
for the storage of agricultural products. The tradition of pottery making prevails in the villages of Kornos
[Larnaka (Larnaca) region] and Foini [Lemesos (Limassol) region], or you can find authentic pieces at the
Cyprus Handicraft Centre.
