What is the soul of the people expressed in? In language, traditions, culture. It is also expressed in crafts that are passed on from generation to generation, giving the opportunity to create for the benefit and joy of people. “Living Craft” is a new project of the World Abaza Congress. The series of programs will tell about masters who, with their own hands, help traditions not to fade away, remaining part of modern culture. You will learn more about the history and technology of the craft and, perhaps, try your hand at creativity yourself.
