The house where our traditions live

The year 2017, announced as the president's year of the entrepreneur, is over. But the support of the sphere continues. The Supreme Council continues to work on legislative initiatives that will help small businesses. A law-in-draft on concessional lending was supported in the second reading. A preferential loan will be available to both start-up entrepreneurs and existing enterprises.

Workshop "Wool house" is a small and cozy house located in the Moldavian part of the city. It is here that people's traditions live. Their keeper - Svetlana Kozhuhar and Oksana Rusu. Everything is as if in a fairy tale in the studio: wooden shutters, a soft feather, small pupae, amulets, behind each exhibit there is a whole story. Rushnik - Ukrainian, carpet - German, dishes from clay - Moldavian.

The house of the folk tale is only a few years old. Here anyone can learn to weave or felting. Master classes are held on weekends. Age and profession do not matter, the main thing is the desire to learn the craft of our ancestors. The artist Oksana Rusu assures that it is possible to create from wool everything that will arise in your imagination: clothes, ornaments, souvenirs.

The main Orthodox holiday is coming - Easter. Therefore, the craftsman created the Easter composition. Another direction that attracted her was dolls-motanki. They were considered defenders of negative energy in the house in the old days. Oksana says: these dolls-amulets are created without needles and scissors. In their basis, cloth flaps twisted clockwise - in the direction of the sun.

Red color masters painted eggs. Patterns also have their meaning. The tree of life, for example, is a symbol of fertility. Slavic symbols can be found in the canvas. Svetlana Kozhuhar is a master of tapestry, is fond of weaving on bards and plaques. The master demonstrated the way of weaving, which is called twisting.

In the plans of entrepreneurs to purchase modern equipment - a projector and a screen, so that classes with children become more visible. By the way, interest in old needlework among the children is growing. As love grows around the world to handmade. Entrepreneurs are recognized: their work is very popular among visitors. The craftsmen try to instill a love for the Pridnestrovians in hand-made products. After all, in each souvenir they put their soul, their feelings and emotions.
