A stylish accessory crafted using ancestral techniques: a patchwork workshop to be held at the National Centre RUSSIA

---

On July 24 at 13:30, the National Centre RUSSIA will host a workshop titled "Textile Jewellery" as part of the patchwork exposition "The Soul of Russia."

During this hands-on session, participants will learn the basics of working with textile materials, try themselves as designers, and create stylish fabric accessories.

"We strive to preserve the traditions of our ancestors. Unfortunately, most young people today do not know how to sew. At our workshop, visitors will make decorations they can wear themselves or give to loved ones," said Rimma Bybina, organiser of the International Patchwork Festival "The Soul of Russia."

To take part in the workshop, visitors need to register in the "Events" section on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA. All materials will be provided. 

The patchwork exposition "The Soul of Russia" is open at the National Centre RUSSIA until July 27. It is part of the large-scale International Festival of the same name.

 The exposition showcases items created using centuries-old techniques. The project brings together the most talented artisans from cities such as Ufa, Arkhangelsk, Voronezh, Tula, Moscow, Perm, Ivanovo, St Petersburg, Tyumen, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Lipetsk, Cheboksary, Bryansk, Voronezh, and many others.

Rimma Bybina noted that the key theme voiced in recent years by President Vladimir Putin is the preservation of the nation’s spiritual and moral values. This message is also at the heart of the International Patchwork Festival "The Soul of Russia."
