The story

Voice of Crafts Vologda in Vologda

Voice of Crafts is understood here as a folk crafts festival held in Vologda, a city in Russia's north best known for Vologda lace, a distinctive bobbin-lace tradition recognized as one of Russia's signature regional handicrafts, alongside the city's other renowned crafts including Vologda butter and traditional woodworking.

Vologda lace developed through the nineteenth century into one of the most distinctive regional handicraft traditions in Russia, made using a bobbin technique brought to prominence by serf lacemakers working on noble estates before spreading into a broader cottage industry across Vologda province.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Vologda lace, made using a bobbin technique in which dozens of individual threads are woven together over a pinned pattern, is distinguished by dense, continuous flowing patterns, often featuring flora, birds, or geometric borders, unlike lighter openwork lace traditions elsewhere in Russia, and the city maintains a dedicated Vologda Lace Museum preserving and promoting the craft, giving any Vologda crafts festival an unusually deep and specific local textile tradition to draw on
