MEMBERS ONLY EVENT (Circle’s friends = Circle’s members); part 1 of 3
Dear friends of our Circle,
Following up on the artisanal Romanian mini-workshop I initiated during “Ziua Iei
2026” celebration (aka: “The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse 2026”)
and responding to the interest expressed directly to me by several friends of our
socio-cultural community, I am delighted to share that on Thursday (August
13’26), on a very beautiful and peaceful summer day around here, I organized for the friends of our Circle the first part (part 1
of 3) of a hands-on workshop, dedicated to the ancient art
of the traditional Romanian embroidery, craft being taught by artisan
Lucreția Cioată. This class was offered exclusively to the friends of our literary and socio-cultural Circle (Circle’s friends = Circle’s members), and each participant was offered a starter kit, as a base to commence the learning process.
This
traditional Romanian embroidery of a recognizable value, perceived as a
distinct “manual art”, it is a centuries-old hand-made artistry,
gracefully encompassing our ancient cultural heritage and a skillful handcraft. Truly beautiful!

Needless to say that we all enjoyed wonderful moments of art and creativity in
a warm atmosphere, where every thread came to life, telling us timeless
stories.
Both, Ms. Lucreția and I had a blast weaving beautiful memories together with our friends, and with much anticipation we are looking forward to the next session (part 2 of 3) of this workshop, which belongs to the educational serries of events of our Circle.
