Nikolina Filipova is the Director of the “Folk Applied Arts” club, connected with the community center “St. St. Kirilus
and Methodius” – Silistra. The Club was founded in 1999 and financed by United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with one basic goal – restoration and
preservation the traditional Bulgarian applied arts.
Currently, Nikolina Filipova is gathering a group of women who are experienced
in their respective handy-crafts. They will manufacture hand-made articles on
a homemade horizontal loom.
The articles, made from natural raw materials and under old-time patterns and
techniques, are suitable for modern interiors. They also produce traditional costumes
from all ethnographic regions, as well as modern dresses with hand-made applications,
such as laces and embroidery.
Small woven bags and handmade socks with traditional Bulgarian patterns were a
great success during the Christmas Craft Fair in Sofia, Bulgaria.
A tour-agency, working in the area of cultural and historical tourism, took an
interest in the activities of the club.
