We invite you to the book " Suitu novada mantojums. Suit pierkstaiņ un dūraiņ " presentation and a meeting with the creative team of the book. The publication was created over the course of 12 years as a study covering the thimbles and mittens made in the Suiti region stored in many Latvian museums, warehouses and private dowries. In the 656 pages of the magnificent and voluminous book, you can find not only photographs and technical drawings of ancient gloves, but also a collection of suit glove patterns and their names, comparison of yarn color tones and descriptions of specific knitting techniques.
After the book presentation, there will be a practical lesson for knitters "Let's knit suit gloves!" together with the knitters of the folk applied art studio "Irbi" and an express exhibition - cimdi, valnīši and raskatrauži.
Lesson for knitters with prior knowledge, please bring knitting needles. The event is held in cooperation with the association "Ethnic Culture Center "Suiti"".
