Reportaža s čipkarskega izleta Po pomlad in čipke v zamejstvo / Reportage from a lace trip For spring and lace across the border

Po deževnem maju, ki se nikakor ni hotel ogreti in zadišati po pravi pomladi, se je sobotno jutro, 8. junija 2013, rodilo v soncu, ki je obetalo čudovit pomladni dan. Na parkirišču za avtobuse pred ljubljansko Halo Tivoli smo se zbrale klekljarice iz Ljubljane in okolice, ki smo se odpravljale na strokovni čipkarski izlet v zamejstvo. Preden smo se podale na pot, smo na ljubljanski železniški postaji »pobrale« klekljarice iz Zasavja, ki so se v Ljubljano pripeljale z vlakom, na avtocestnem izvozu za Pivko so se nam pridružile še klekljarice z Notranjske. Pot do meje je minila v izmenjavi svežih čipkarskih novic in kot bi mignil smo se znašli pred galerijo Antiche Mura v središču Tržiča (it. Monfalcone), kjer je bila na ogled razstava Čipkarske šole Gorica (it. Scuola Merletti di Gorizia) z naslovom Čipke – zgodba se nadaljuje…

 

Razstavljena so bila čipkarska dela treh vrst: obleke, izdelane v okviru projekta Naravna prepletanja, čipkarska dela, zasnovana ob razstavi Ustavljeni čas in kolekcija pokrival s čipko.

 

V okviru projekta Naravna prepletanja so nastale tri obleke: Reka, Flora (Rastlinstvo) in Favna (Živalstvo). Od kod njihovemu avtorju, italijanskemu modnemu oblikovalcu Fabiu Feroceu, navdih zanje, verjetno ni potrebno posebej pojasnjevati. Vzorce za čipke za vse tri obleke je zrisala Miriam Mauri, sklekljali so jih učenci in učiteljice Čipkarske šole Gorica.

 

Drugi sklop razstavljenih del so predstavljali izdelki, ki so jih učiteljice Čipkarske šole Gorica izdelale za razstavo Ustavljeni čas - Goriška zastavljalnica skozi čas (1831 - 1929). Navdih zanje so bile dragocenosti, ki so jih ljudje v finančnih stiskah zastavili v zameno za posojilo. Mnogi svojih dolgov niso nikoli poravnali in tako so ti predmeti ostali v zakladnici zavarovalnice. Po njih so bili zasnovani čipkasta obroba, ogrlici, zapestnica, več parov uhanov, sponka za lase, večerna torbica in ovitek za rokovnik. Zaradi odboja svetlobe od steklenih vitrin, v katerih so bila dela razstavljena, nisem uspela narediti nobene kvalitetne fotografije, vendar vam toplo priporočam, da si razstavo ogledate, če bo še kje na ogled.

 

Največ naše pozornosti so bila na razstavi deležna pokrivala s čipkami, ki jih je ustvarilo devet učenk pod vodstvom učiteljic. Izdelave pokrival so se lotile zelo celostno: naredile so pokrivala in čipke zanje, še prej pa so same pobarvale večino uporabljenega materiala z različnimi naravnimi barvili: slezom, bršljanom, čebulnimi olupki, kurkumo, ognjičem, borovnicami, vinom in še z marsičem drugim.

Na razstavi nas je prijazno sprejela Katia Braida iz Čipkarske šole Gorica, ki je vsem udeleženkam našega izleta podarila katalog z razstave, sama pa sem bila deležna še posebnega darila – cvetličnega lončka s sobnimi kalami, ki zdaj krasijo kuhinjsko okno našega doma in me vztrajno izzivajo k ustvarjanju. Kdo ve, morda bo nekega dne skušnjava dovolj velika, da bom namesto kuhalnice v roke vzela svinčnik in bo namesto kosila na mizi nastal vzorec za klekljanje z motivi kal ;-).

 

Iz Tržiča nas je pot vodila do Devina (it. Duino), točneje do Devinskega gradu (it. Castello di Duino). Pred vhodom nas je pričakal gospod Franko, ki nas je v simpatični, primorsko pojoči slovenščini popeljal proti gradu. Našo pozornost je najprej pritegnil grajski vrt, s katerega je čudovit pogled na Tržaški zaliv in na ruševine starega devinskega gradu. Po legendi naj prav pod njimi plenice svojega sinka prala lepa Vida, ko jo je črn zamorec z obljubami o lepšem življenju zvabil v širni svet.

 

Z vrta smo vstopili na grajsko dvorišče, ki ga je napolnjeval opojen vonj cvetoče vzpenjavke, in prisluhnili pripovedi gospoda Franka o bogati zgodovini gradu. Prvi devinski grad je bil zgrajen že v 11. stoletju, v bližini današnjega, vendar so od njega ostale le ruševine, ki pričajo o hudih spopadih s Turki in Benečani. Novi grad je nastal v 13. stoletju na ruševinah nekdanje rimske postojanke in je bil tekom stoletij večkrat povečan, preurejen in restavriran.

 

Zgodovina gradu je neločljivo povezana s plemiško družino Torre e Tasso (Turn und Taxis), ki je v sorodu s številnimi pomembnimi evropskimi plemiškimi družinami. Devinski knezi so se odlikovali kot vojskovodje v spopadih s Turki, bili so pobudniki številnih obnovitvenih del na Goriškem ter potrpežljivi diplomatski posredniki med Habsburškim cesarstvom in Beneško republiko. Ustanavljali so šole, samostane in druge inštitucije, znani so bili tudi kot kulturni meceni. Devinski grad je gostil številne pomembne goste, a si posebno pozornost med njimi zasluži češki pesnik Rainer Maria Rilke, ki je očaral grofico Mario, o čemer priča obsežna ohranjena korespondenca med njima. V Devinu je začel pisati prve elegije, ki jih je kasneje poimenoval Devinske in jih posvetil mladi grofici. Grad je še vedno domovanje devinskih knezov in pomembno kulturno središče regije, kjer se dogajajo številni koncerti, razstave, konference in druge prireditve.

 

Po vodenem ogledu smo imeli nekaj prostega časa, ki smo ga izkoristili za vzpon na grajski stolp, s katerega je čudovit pogled na tržaški zaliv in grajsko dvorišče na eni ter na kopensko zaledje na drugi strani. Nekateri so se spustili tudi v vojaški bunker pod gradom, ki ga je nemška organizacija TODT naredila pod gradom med II. svetovno vojno, z razširitvijo srednjeveškega skrivnega rova iz gradu. Služil naj bi obrambi ob morebitnem izkrcanju zavezniških sil na tržaški obali.

Ker nam je ostalo še nekaj časa do odprtja razstave v Bazovici, smo se odpeljali še do gradu Miramare. Tu nas je pričakalo pravcato poletno vzdušje. Plaža, ki se razteza od Trsta do gradu je bila polna ljudi, ki so se nastavljali soncu. Nekateri so se celo kopali in obžalovala sem, da tudi jaz nisem s seboj vzela kopalk. Sva se pa zato s Tonko Černilogar, učiteljico klekljanja iz Ljubljane, ohladili z namakanjem nog v prijetno hladni vodi. Drugi so čas izkoristili za ogled gradu Miramare, sprehod ob obali ali za sladkanje s sladoledom oz. ledeno kavo.

 

V zamejstvo smo šli iskat pomlad, a smo našli poletje. / We went across the border to find a spring, but we found the summer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Popoldne smo se z obale podale v notranjost. Pred Gospodarska zadrugo v Bazovici (it. Cooperativa Economica a Basovizza) so  nas pričakale klekljarice Slovenskega kulturnega društva Lipa z mentorico Ivjano Štranj. Ob ogledu razstave Ples v maskah nam je povedala zanimivo zgodbo o tem, kako je nastala in se razvijala ideja za razstavo. Ideja za izdelavo mask po motivih dvanajstih mesecev se je rodila že ob izdelavi čipk za koledar društva leta 2010. A ker se jim je dvanajst mask zdelo premalo za samostojno razstavo, so izdelale še pripadajoče pahljače. Ob tem sta njihova domišljija in drznost dobili krila in odločile so se izdelati še obleke. Najprej so naredile raziskavo o zgodovini oblačenja, nato so se lotile snovanja oblek. S svojim znanjem in spretnostjo jim je bila pri tem v veliko pomoč izvrstna šivilja Silvana Mergiani, ki je opravila tudi levji delež pri izdelavi oblačil. Nastala je razkošna razstava, za katero je bila dvorana zadruge v Bazovici skoraj premajhna.

 

Takole opravljeni naj bi zaplesali meseca avgusta, ko poletne noči ožarjajo zvezdni utrinki. Avtorica vzorcev za klekljanje je Ivjana Štranj, čipke sta sklekljali Marija Pogačnik in Jasna Prunk. / Here you can see how to be dressed for Masken Ball in August, when summer nights are illuminated with shooting stars. Author of lace patterns is Ivjana Štranj, lace is made by Marija Pogačnik and Jasna Prunk.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Po razstavi smo se zadržale še v prijetnem klepetu in okušanju kulinaričnih dobrot, ki so jih za nas pripravile zamejske klekljarice. Vožnja domov je minila v izmenjavi vtisov in ugotovile smo, da je za nami čudovit dan, ki ga moramo kmalu ponoviti.

After a rainy May, which didn’t want to heat and smell of the real spring at all, the Saturday morning, 8^th of June 2013, was born in the sun, which promised a beautiful spring day. On the parking place for buses in front of Ljubljana Tivoli Hall lace makers from Ljubljana and surrounding gathered to take part in lace tour across west Slovene border. Before we set on a journey, we picked up lace makers from Zasavje region (central Slovenia), who came to Ljubljana by train, at the railway station, on the motorway exit for Pivka lace makers from Notranjska region (south-west Slovenia) joined us. A journey to border with Italy passed in the exchange of fresh lace news and before we know it we found ourselves in front of the gallery Antiche Mura in the centre of Tržič (It. Monfalcone), where an exhibition of Gorizia Lace School (It. Scuola Merletti di Gorizia) titled Lace - the story continues ... was exbitied.

There were three types of lace works exhibited: dresses made in the project Natural interlaces, lace works, designed for the exhibition Stopped time and collection of headgears with lace.

For the project Natural interlaces three outfits were created: River, Flora and Fauna. What inspired Italian fashion designer Fabio Feroce to design them, is probably no need to explain. Patterns for lace for all three dresses were drawn by Miriam Mauri, lace was made by students and teachers of Gorizia Lace School.

The second set of exhibits was lace works made by teachers of Gorizia Lace School, produced for the exhibition Stopped Time - Gorizia pawnshop through the time (1831 - 1929). Inspirations for them were treasures that people in financial distress pawned in return for the loan. Many of them never returned their debts and so these items remained in the treasury of the pawnshop. Inspired by them a lace trim, two necklaces, a bracelet, several pairs of earrings, a hair clips, an evening bag and a cover for a diary were designed. Due to reflection from the glass of display cases in which the works were exhibited, I could not do any high-quality photos, but I strongly recommend you to visit an exhibition if it will be on display elsewhere.

Most of our attention on the exhibition got headgears with lace created by nine students under the guidance of teachers. Producing of headgears was embarked on a very comprehensive way: they produced hats and lace, but they also dyed the majority of the material by themselves with different natural dyes: mallow, ivy, onion peels, curcuma, marigold, blueberries, wine and many other things.

On the exhibition we were kindly accepted by Katia Braida from Gorizia Lace School, who donated an exhibition catalog to all of us. I got a special gift also – a flower pot with indoor calla lilies, which now adorn a kitchen window at our home and challenge me constantly to creation. Who knows, maybe someday temptation will be big enough that I would rather take a pencil in a hand than a wooden spoon and make a lace pattern instead of lunch ;-).

 

From Tržič (It. Monfalcone) path led us to Devin (It. Duino), to be precise – to Duino Castle. At the entrance we were greeted by Mr. Franko, who led us in a cute, singing, littoral Slovene dialect to the castle. Our attention was attracted by castle garden with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Trieste and the ruins of the old Duino castle first. By an old Slovene legend, right underneath a Beauty Vida washed her sonny’s diapers, when the Black Nigger lured her into the world with promises of a better life.

From the garden we entered to the courtyard, which was filled with intoxicating scent of flowering climbers, and listened a narration of Mr. Franko about rich history of the castle. First Duino castle was built in the 11th century already near the present-day one, but today just its ruins testified about hard conflicts with the Turks and the Venetians. New castle was built in the 13th century on the ruins of the former Roman outpost and has been increased several times over the centuries, renovated and restored.

 

The history of the castle is inextricably linked to the noble family of Torre e Tasso (Thurn und Taxis), which are related with many important European noble families. Duino princes distinguished themselves as military leaders in many conflict with the Turks, they were the initiators of many renovation works in Gorizia region and patient diplomatic intermediaries between the Habsburg Empire and the Venetian Republic. They established many schools, convents and other institutions and were well known as cultural patrons. Duino Castle hosted many important guests, but a special attention Czech poet Rainer Maria Rilke deserve. He charmed the Countess Maria, what is evident by preserved reach correspondence between them. He began to write the first elegies there, later named Duino Elegies, and dedicated them to the young countess. The castle is still a home of Devin princes and an important cultural centre of the region, where a number of concerts, exhibitions, conferences and other events happen.

After a guided tour we had some free time, which we used to walk up to the castle tower, with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Trieste and the courtyard on one side and the hinterland on the other. Some of us went down in the military bunker beneath the castle, which was built by the German organization TODT during the World War II, with the extension of a secret tunnel from the medieval castle. It was mean to serve German army in case of Allied landing on the coast of Trieste.

Since we still had some time before the exhibition in Bazovica was open, we drove to Miramare Castle also. Here we were greeted by a real summer atmosphere. Beach from Trieste to the castle was full of people who exposed themselves to sunlight. Some even swim in the sea, and I regretted that I didn’t take my swimwear with me also. Therefore Tonka Černilogar, lace teacher from Ljubljana, and I cooled down by soaking our feet in the pleasantly cool water. Others use that time to visit Miramare Castle, walk along the coast or sweeten with ice cream or ice coffee.

In the afternoon, we moved from the coast to the inland. Before the Economic Cooperative in Bazovica (It. Cooperativa Economica a Basovizza) we were greeted by lace makers from Slovene cultural society Linden with their mentor Ivjana Štranj. While looking their exhibition titled Masked Ball she told us an interesting story about how the idea for the exhibition was found and developed. The idea for the masks with motives of twelve months they got in 2010 already, when they made laces for calendar of their society. But as twelve masks seemed insufficient for a solo exhibition, they produced the corresponding fans. At the same time their imagination and boldness got wings and they decided to make outfits also. First, they made a research about the history of dress, and then they started to design clothes. An excellent seamstress Silvana Mergiani with her wide knowledge and skills has been taking a big assistance to them in that feat and has the lion's share in garment manufacturing also. The result was a luxury exhibition for which cooperative hall was almost too small.

After the exhibition we still retained in a nice chat with lace makers from Bazovica and tasted the culinary delights which they prepared for us. Drive to home passed in the exchange of impressions and we found out that we had a great day which we had to repeat soon.

Francoske klekljarice obiskale Ljubljano / French lacemakers visited Ljubljana

Včeraj je v Ljubljano pripotovala skupina klekljaric iz Le Puy-en-Velaya, čipkarskega središča na jugu Francije. Tu so se ustavile na poti domov s čipkarskega izleta na Hrvaško. Informacijo o njihovem prihodu mi je posredovala gospa Mili Primožič iz Žirov, za kar se ji najlepše zahvaljujem.

 

Vodstvo Hotela M, kjer so francoske gostje prenočile, je prijazno prisluhnilo prošnji ljubljanskih klekljaric, da v preddverju hotela pripravimo priložnostno čipkarsko razstavo in prikaz klekljanja ter pričakamo kolegice iz Francije. Za gostoljubje se jim hvaležno zahvaljujemo. Gostje sem pozdravila članica upravnega odbora Mednarodne organizacije za klekljano in šivano čipko OIDFA za Slovenijo Afrodita Hebar Kljun. V njihovem imenu se nam je za sprejem in razstavo zahvalila gospa Mick Fouriscot, predsednica čipkarskega centra v Le Puy-en-Velayu. Kljub utrujenosti zaradi dolgega potovanja, ki je bilo za njimi, so se francoske klekljarice kar nekaj časa zadržale v ogledovanju razstave in klepetu z ljubljanskimi kolegicami. Razstava in prikaz klekljanja sta pritegnila tudi druge goste hotela, zlasti skupino z Japonske.

 

Danes so si francoske klekljarice ogledale še staro mestno jedro Ljubljane, nato so se preko Idrije in Benetk odpravile proti domu. Vendar so obljubile, da se bodo v Ljubljano zagotovo vrnile junija 2016, ko bo tu potekal 17. svetovni čipkarski kongres OIDFA.

 

 

Yesterday a group of lace makers from Le Puy-en-Velay, lace centre in the south of France, visited Ljubljana. They stopped here on the homecoming from a lace trip to Croatia. Information about their arrival Mrs. Mili Primožič from Žirov passed to me, for what I thank her very much.

 

The management of the Hotel M, where the French guests spent the night, listened kindly to the request of Ljubljana lacemakers to prepare an occasional lace exhibition and presentation of lacemaking and to welcome colleagues from France in the lobby of the hotel. We gratefully thank the hotel for their hospitality. As Council member of International organisation for bobbin and needle lace OIDFA I welcomed the guests. In their name Mrs. Mick Fouriscot, the president of lace centre in Le Puy-en-Velay, thanked for the reception and the exhibition. Despite the fatigue because of a long journey that was behind them the French lacemakers spend some time watching the exhibition and chatting with Ljubljana's colleagues. Exhibition and presentation of lacemaking attracted other guests also, especially the group from Japan.

 

Today French lacemakers visited old Ljubljana city centre also, then they head for home through Idrija and Venice. However, they promised that they will definitely return to Ljubljana in June 2016, when here the 17th OIDFA World Lace Congress will be held.

Morda veste, kje se letos obira pomlad? Ljubljanske klekljarice jo gremo v soboto, 8. junija 2013, iskat v zamejstvo. S parkirišča za avtobuse pred ljubljansko Halo Tivoli se bomo ob 8. uri zjutraj podale proti Tržiču (it. Monfalcone), da bi preverile, če se ni morda zadržala v Furlaniji. Kraj, ki ga večina Slovencev pozna kot nakupovalno Meko, te dni gosti majhno, a zanimivo razstavo, ki bi jo bilo škoda spregledati. Gre za letno predstavitev Čipkarske šole Gorica, na kateri so na ogled unikatna obleka, zanimiva pokrivala in nekaj kosov nakita - s čipkami, seveda.

Stvaritve goriških klekljaric bi bile pravšnja oprava za naš nasljednji cilj - grad Devin. S kraškega grebena, na katerem je zgrajen, bomo imele čudovit razgled, zato bomo lahko preverile, če pomlad morda ne namaka od dolge zime premrlih udov kje v tržaškem zalivu. Grad je še danes domovanje plemiške družine Thurn und Taxis, vendar je del poslopja na voljo za javne oglede. Pogledale bomo tudi v grajski park, če pomlad morda ne počiva med opojno cvetočimi gredicami. Morda je na krilih poezije poletela po slikoviti Rilkejevi poti, poimenovani po največkrat omenjenemu obiskovalcu gradu, češkem pesniku Rainerju Marii Rilkeu, ki je prav tu začel pisati svoje Devinske elegije.

Popoldne se bomo odpeljale v Bazovico, kjer si bomo ogledale razstavo klekljaric Slovenskega kulturnega društva Lipa Bazovica. Razstava nosi naslov Ples v maskah in na njej je na ogled vse, kar je za takšen dogodek potrebno: maske in primerna oblačila. Ker so oboje izdelale klekljarice, seveda vse iz čipk, oziroma okrašeno z njimi. Morda bodo stvaritve zamejskih klekljaric v Bazovico privabile tudi pomlad. Po ogledu razstave jo bomo povabile, naj se nam pridruži na poti v Slovenijo, kjer jo že težko pričakujemo. Prihod v Ljubljano je predviden v zgodnjih večernih urah.

Cena izleta je 32 evrov pri udeležbi vsaj 25 udeleženk, oziroma 25 evrov pri udeležbi 30 ali več udeleženk. Vključuje avtobusni prevoz, vstopnine po programu, vodenje in organizacijo izleta. Prijave sprejemamo do 5. 6. 2013, oz. do zapolnitve prostih mest na e-naslovu: afrodita.hebar@mat.si, po telefonu: 01/ 25 66 859 in po mobilnem telefonu: 041/ 332 664. Na izlet se lahko prijavite tudi pri ge. Diki Penko, po telefonu: 01/ 232 26 28.

Vljudno vabljeni, da se nam pridružite na izletu in pri iskanju pomladi!

Do you know where the spring dawdle this year? Ljubljana lace makers will go to look for it over west Slovenian border on Saturday, 8^th of June 2013. From parking place for buses in front of Ljubljana Hala Tivoli at 8 a.m. we will travel to Tržič (It. Monfalcone) to check if it is not gone in Friuli (Slo. Furlanija, It. Friuli) maybe. Place, which for most people from Slovenia is known as a shopping Mecca, these days hosts a small but interesting exhibition, which would be a shame to miss. Annual presentation of the Gorizia Lace School, on which an unique dress, some headgears and few pieces of jewellery – all with lace, of course – are displayed.

Creations of Gorizia lace makers would be perfect outfits for our next goal – Castle of Duino (Slo. Devinski grad, It. Castello di Duino). From a Karst clif on which it is built, we will have a beautiful view, so we can check if the spring may not soak from the long winter numbed limbs in the Gulf of Trieste (Slo. Tržaški zaliv, it. Golfo di Trieste). The castle is still the home of the noble family of Thurn und Taxis (it. Torre e Tasso), but part of the building is opened for public visits also. We will look at the castle park, if spring might not rest on intoxicating blossoming flower beds. Maybe it fly on the wings of poetry by Rilke scenic route, named after the most mentioned visitor of the Castle, Czech poet Rainer Maria Rilke, which began to write his Duino Elegies right here.

In the afternoon we will drive to Bazovica (It. Basovizza), where we will visit the exhibition of lace makers from Slovenian Cultural Society Lipa Bazovica. The exhibition is titled Masked Ball, and there is on display everything what can be needed for such an event: masks and suitable clothing. Since everything is made by lace makers, of course, all in lace or embellished with them. Perhaps creations made by lace makers from Slovenian ethnic minority in Italy will attracted the spring also. After visiting the exhibition we will invite it to join us on the way to Slovenia, where it is hardly expected. Arriving in Ljubljana is scheduled in the early evening.

A price of tour is 32 Euros for at least 25 participants, or 25 Euros for 30 or more participants. Includes bus transportation, entrance fees according to the program, guiding and organising the tour. Applications will be accepted until 5^th of June or till bus is full on the e-mail address: afrodita.hebar@mat.si, by phone: +386 1 25 668 59 and by mobile phone: + 386 41 332 664. For a trip you can also sign by phone: 01/232 26 28 to Mrs. Dika Penko.

You are cordially invited to join us on the trip and in search for spring!

Čipka v naravnih materialih pripoveduje o življenju / Lace made of natural materials talks about the life

Če ste lani slučajno zamudili ali spregledali razstavo, na kateri so učenci Osnovne šole Črni vrh predstavili Inovacijski projekt Čipka v naravnih materialih pripoveduje o življenju, imate zdaj priložnost, da napako popravite. Namenoma sem napisala napako, saj gre za najbolj inovativen čipkarski projekt lanskega leta v Slovenijii, ki ga resnično ne gre prezreti. Če me je lanskoletna razstava študentov Naravoslovnotehniške fakultete, oddelek za tekstilstvo, nekoliko razočarala, saj sem od bodočih modnih ustvarjalcev pričakovala več inovativnosti, nekonvencionalnosti, drznosti, celo »odštekanosti«, je z vsem naštetim obilno postregla razstava osnovnošolcev s Črnega Vrha. Ti so študentske kolege presegli tako v raziskovalnem in multidisciplinarnem pristopu k projektu, v inovativnosti in kreativnosti pri snovanju čipkarskih del, kot tudi v izvirnem in zanimivem načinu končne predstavitve svojega dela.

Projekt je nastajal pod vodstvom mentoric Liljane Homovec, Anke Jamšek in Barbare Petkovšek, v sodelovanju s Čipkarsko šolo Idrija. Dela so se lotili celostno. Na sprehodih v okolici šole so najprej nabrali naravne materiale, za katere so menili, da bi jih lahko uporabili za klekljanje oz. bi jih lahko vključili v izdelek: trave, liste, koruzno ličkanje, lubje, lišaje, plodove, semena… Tudi navdih za risanje vzorcev za klekljanje so poiskali v naravi. V drevesnih grčah, lubju in lišajih na njem, v prečnih prerezih debel, kapljicah smole, med koreninami in v prepletih vej, celo v mikrosvetu dreves so našli ideje za svoje snovanje. Sledila je pretvorba skic v »papirce« in risanje vzorcev za klekljanje v mednarodni barvni skali. Pri pouku tehnične vzgoje so naredili blazine za klekljanje in kleklje, pri kemiji so izdelali naravna barvila in z njimi pobarvali lan in volno. Čebula, hibiskus, kamilica in kraški teran so preji dali čudovite naravne odtenke. Sledilo je klekljanje. Poizkusili so se tudi v klekljanju na vzorcih brez narisanih postavkov. Te so morali učenci določati sproti, tako da so »prisluhnili« materialu in tekočemu paru klekljev. Poseben izziv je bilo klekljanje z materiali, ki niso dopustili navitja, tudi vstavljanje semen in plodov je bilo svojevrsten izziv. Nastanek vsake čipke je bil sproti zabeležen na spremni list. Nanj so zapisovali potek dela, uporabljene materiale in tehnike izdelave, težave in zaplete, nova odkritja in spoznanja. Zapisano je bilo pomembna informacija za celotno projektno skupino in dobra popotnica za nadaljnje delo. Na koncu so se spopadli še z nalogo kako nastala čipkarska dela predstaviti v skladi z njihovim sporočilom. Ob pomoči mentoric jim je tudi to zelo dobro uspelo.

Projekt so letos nadaljevali z izdelavo novih čipk, kreiranjem oblačil iz naravnih materialov ter apliciranjem čipk na oblačila in druge uporabne predmete. Kaj vse so ustvarili si lahko ogledate na prireditvi z naslovom Čipke na sprehodu, v soboto, 1. junija 2013, ob 18. uri na dnevu odprtih vrat Osnovne šole Črni vrh. Ob prireditvi bodo na ogled razstava Inovacijskega projekta Čipka v naravnih materialih, izdelki učencev Osnovne šole Črni Vrh, izdelki učencev Čipkarske šole Idrija – oddelek Črni Vrh, izdelki Društva klekljaric Črni Vrh–Godovič in izdelki učencev modelarskega krožka. Več kot dovolj razlogov, da se v soboto podate na Črni Vrh.

If you accidentally miss an exhibition at which pupils from Primary School Črni Vrh presented an Innovational project Lace made of natural materials talks about the life, you have a chance to rectify that mistake. I deliberately wrote a mistake, because it was the most innovative lace project last year in Slovenia, which really should not be overlooked. If I was a little disappointed at last year's exhibition of students from Faculty of Natural Sciences, Department for textiles, as I expected more innovativeness, unconventionality, daring, even "craziness" of future fashion designers, all the above mentioned the exhibition of pupils from Črni Vrh served in abundance. Pupils exceeded their older colleagues in exploratory and multidisciplinary approach to the project, innovativeness and creativity in designing their lace works, as well as in original and interesting way to present the whole project.

The project has been developed under the guidance of mentors Liljana Homovec, Anka Jamšek and Barbara Petkovšek, in cooperation with Idrija Lace School. Work has been undertaken very comprehensive. While walking in school’s surrounding pupils picked natural materials, which were considered to be useful for lacemaking or could be included in lace works: grass, leaves, corn husking, bark, lichens, berries, seeds etc. They searched for inspiration for sketch drawing in nature also. In tree gnarl, bark and lichens on it, in trunk sections, resin drops, between the roots and in the intertwining of branches, even in trees micro world they found ideas for their designs. This was followed by conversion of sketches in lace patterns and drawing patterns in the international color scale. At Technical lessons they made lace pillows and bobbins, at Chemistry lessons they produced natural dyes and painted flax and wool with them. Onion, hibiscus, chamomile and Teran (dark red Slovenian wine) gave yarns beautiful natural shades. Next was lacemaking. They tried to make laces on lace patterns without drawn prickling also. They had to make them promptly, by "listening" material and guided pair of bobbins. A special challenge was material that is not allowed winding, also inserting seeds and fruits have been a singular challenge. The formation of each lace work was promptly recorded on the accompanying sheet of paper. A workflow, materials and techniques, problems, complications as well as new discoveries were noted on it. The written was important information for the entire project team and bodes well for future work. At the end they deal with the task how to represent their lace works in consistent with their message. With a help of mentors they succeeded that very good also.

This year they continued project by making some new lace works, creating clothes made from natural materials and applying laces on clothes and other useful items. What they have created you can see at the event named Lace on a walk on Saturday 1^st June 2013, at 6 pm at the Open Day of the Primary School Črni Vrh. At the event there will be an exhibition of the Innovational project Lace made of natural materials, works of pupils from Primary School Črni Vrh and from Idrija Lace School - department Črni Vrh, an exhibition of the Society of lacemakers from Črni Vrh and Godovič and works of pupils from extracurricular modelling activity. More than enough reasons to visit Črni Vrh in Saturday.

Organizacija Plantlife International v sodelovanju s partnerskimi organizacijami iz jugovzhodne Evrope vabi k sodelovanju pri projektu Wildflower Europe. Cilj projekta je prikazati bogato zgodovino evropskih samoniklih rastlin, opozoriti na njihov pomen v našem kulturnem življenju in za biotsko pestrost ter podpora podeželskim skupnostim, ki skrbijo za ohranjanje biotsko bogatih krajin.

 

Del projekta je tudi skupinsko umetniško delo Travniška krpanka, ki ga lahko soustvarjate tako, da na kos tekstila, velikosti 15 x 15 cm, upodobite (prišijete, izvezete, stkete, spletete, skvačkate, naslikate, natisnete, izdelate iz filca, v čipki ali kako drugače) eno ali več divjih rastlin. Navdih lahko poiščete v pravljici, mitu ali v literaturi, upodobite lahko rastline, ki so povezane z vami osebno ali imajo zgodovinski pomen. Upodobitev mora vsebovati ime avtorja in upodobljene rastline, vključuje pa lahko še druga besedila. Končani izdelek mora biti pritrjen na trdno podlogo. Navodila za pritrditev (v angleščini) poiščite na http://wildflowereurope.org/create-your-patch/.

 

Informacije o svojem izdelku vpišite v spletno prijavnico na http://wildflowereurope.org/si/create-your-patch/, prijavnico natisnite in jo skupaj z izdelkom pošljite na naslov: Turizem Bohinj, Triglavska cesta 30, 4264 Bohinjska Bistrica, s pripisom Travniška krpanka. Priložite lahko tudi opis, slikovno, avdio in video gradivo, povezano z upodobljeno rastlino, oz. ga naložite ob prijavi. Besedila so lahko napisana v slovenskem ali angleškem jeziku.

 

Prve nacionalne razstave prispelih del bodo na festivalih, povezanih z rastlinami, maja oz. junija 2013. Dela, izdelana v Sloveniji, si lahko ogledate na 7. mednarodnem festivalu alpskega cvetja, od 25. maja do 8. junija 2013 v Bohinju (več informacij najdete na http://www.bohinj.si/alpskocvetje/index.php). Leta 2014 bo organizirana mednarodna potujoča razstava izbranih nacionalnih del, ki bo obiskala vse nacionalne festivale.

Plantlife International with partner organisation in South East Europe invite to participate in project Wildflower Europe. The aim of project is to show the rich history of Europe's wild plants, how central they are to our cultural life as well as to biodiversity and support rural communities who maintain wild plant rich landscapes.

 

One part of the project is to create a public participation work of art called the Patchwork Meadow. Anyone in the project countries can contribute a 15cm fabric square (sewing, knitting, painting, printing, felting, lace etc) that depicts a wild plant or plants. Inspiration can come from fairytale and myth, history or literature, you can contribute a plant that has a personal connection for you or you can celebrate plants or images that have a historical connection. Don’t forget to include your name and the name(s) of your plant(s) on your square. Mount the square on suitable strength cardboard. Instructions for mounting you can find on: http://wildflowereurope.org/create-your-patch/.

Enter information about your square online at http://wildflowereurope.org/create-your-patch/ and print it off with its own unique number. Send your completed “flower square” with its information sheet to Patchwork Meadow, Plantlife, 14 Rollestone Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1 1DX, Great Britain. You can upload an image of your artwork and write some information about your chosen plant or plants. You can also upload video or audio to tell your story.

 

There will be a first exhibitions of the national artworks at the flower festivals in May/June 2013. Works from Slovenia you can see from May 25th to June 8th on 7th international wildflower festival in Bohinj, Slovenia (more information on: http://www.bohinj.si/alpskocvetje/eng/index.php). In 2014 there will be a selection of the works from each country going to each of the flower festivals.

 

More information about the project you can find on http://wildflowereurope.org/create-your-patch/, where you can browse through the participated works in the online gallery.

Naše glavno mesto je s čipkarstvom povezano bolj, kot se zdi na prvi pogled. Prvi pisni viri o čipkarstvu na Slovenskem govorijo prav o izdelovanju čipk v Ljubljani, tu je bila ustanovljena prva čipkarska šola na naših tleh, organizirano je bilo izobraževanje na področju čipkarstva na srednješolskem nivoju, v Ljubljani je deloval Državni osrednji zavod za žensko domačo obrt, ki je skrbel za razvoj in prodajo slovenskih čipk doma in po svetu in katerega vlogo je po II. svetovni vojni prevzel Državni prodajni zavod za domačo in umetno obrt (DOM Ljubljana).

Več o zgodovini čipkarstva v Ljubljani in razvoju klekljanih čipk na Slovenskem lahko izveste na predavanju etnologinje Mojce Ferle, ki bo v torek, 21. 5. 2013, v konferenčni dvorani Mestnega muzeju Ljubljana, ob predstavitvi monografije o idrijski čipki. Prisrčno vabljeni!

Slovene capital Ljubljana is associated with lacemaking more than it seems at first glance. The first written records of the Slovene lacemaking speak about the production of lace in Ljubljana, there was established the first lacemaking school in Slovenia, in Ljubljana an education in the field of lacemaking at the secondary level was organized, as well as National Central Bureau of Women's Handicraft, which was responsible for the development and sale of Slovene lace at home and abroad and according to World War II his role was assumed by the National Institute for domestic arts and crafts (DOM Ljubljana).

More about the history of lacemaking in Ljubljana and the development of the Slovene lace one can learn in a lecture of ethnologist Mojca Ferle, on Tuesday, 21st of May 2013 in the Conference Hall of the City Museum of Ljubljana at the presentation of the monograph of Idrija lace. You are cordially invited!
