At the International Exhibition and Forum Russia, the Vologda Region presented a large-scale project "Lace of Russia" which united seven regions of the country famous for lace-making traditions.
The regions where the traditions of lace weaving have been preserved to this day will create a joint lace fabric in the colors of the Russian flag. The start of the campaign was given at the stand of the Vologda Region.
“Vologda has always been one of the main centres of Russian lace tatting. Vologda lace has won deserved fame and world-wide recognition for its high artistic value, rich ornament, and excellent workmanship. We decided to launch an action that will unite the regions where the unique traditions of lace weaving have been preserved. The most skillful lace makers in Russia will create a large lace fabric and at the same time demonstrate the originality and uniqueness of their regional weaving techniques," said Georgy Filimonov, Acting Governor of the Vologda Region.
Today, there are only 7 regions of Russia where lace is woven - Vologda, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Orel, Lipetsk, Ryazan and Kirov regions, and St. Petersburg.
Lace-makers from these regions will weave a lace panel with the symbols of the International Exhibition and Forum Russia. The canvas will be two by three meters in size.
The finished work will be presented on March 22 at the exhibition and forum Russia at VDNH.
