To feel like a jewelry designer: participants of the patchwork workshop shared their emotions

---

The "Textile Jewelry" workshop as part of the patchwork display named " the Soul of Russia" was held at the National Centre RUSSIA on July 24.

During the practical lesson, visitors learned the basics of working with textile materials and created stylish fabric accessories.

Polina Fredericks came to the workshop with her mother.

"Today we made brooches and wove baubles. I've never tried to do it before, so I really enjoyed it, because I love such creative activities. I felt like a designer. Patchwork is something close to me. I think that I will definitely come to a similar workshop," the schoolgirl shared.

Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, Tatiana Lazareva, the guests learned how to work with textures and make their own design solutions using traditional techniques.

"This is my first experience of mastering such decorative and applied art, it is very exciting. I learned about the workshop from the Telegram channel of the National Centre RUSSIA. I regularly monitor the "Events" section there. I have already been to this space several times before for various events — concerts, displays.  I really like it here," Ekaterina Krasnikova emphasized.

You can register for such events in the "Events" section on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA.
