The Transcarpathian folk music, folk dance and crafts camp celebrated its jubilee.
The 25th Transcarpathian folk music, folk dance and craft camp was held in Transcarpathia in July. Zsuzsanna Vörös, employee of the Hagyomány Háza Hálózat and program organizer, summarizes the results of the craft section from the program series in Tiszapétfalva.
Last year's Subcarpathian folk music, folk dance and crafts camp was canceled due to the epidemic, so this year's event was preceded by great anticipation. This year is also important in the lives of the people of Tiszapeter Village, as the approximately three hundred participants were able to celebrate the camp's 25th birthday.
Initially, dancers and folk musicians took part in the meeting, the musicians worked intensively in different sections - violin, viola, dulcimer, accordion - under the guidance of renowned Hungarian instructors. The dancers were trained in beginner, intermediate and advanced groups. A few years ago, the group of guests was supplemented with craftsmen: the camping children could take part in a craft activity during the afternoon break.
This year was also special in that the handicrafts theme was expanded with a professional methodological training for teachers, which was also included in the developments of the Subcarpathian Summer Kölcsey Teacher Academy, and the work of around 19 teachers and craftsmen participating in the program was recognized with a certificate.

During the last four years of Hagyomány Hása Hálózat, we have focused on music and dance training. said Zsuzsanna Vörös. Craft training with a new theme - of high quality, for teachers - was still considered a novelty in Transcarpathia. We came to the course with three professionals who run folk playhouses: Erika Verbőczi is a connoisseur of felt and fiber crafts, and my colleague Aliz Bangó, a folk craftsman and potter, gave a presentation on the visual education of children in addition to the presentation of primitive clay techniques. During the week, Éva Borbényi shared basic weaving techniques, yarn games and the technique of cane weaving. Our important goal was to demonstrate that by using natural materials and using simpler techniques, you can create very attractive objects and toys that can also be used in practice.
