Shirin Kasnak Looms (Turkey)

Weaving is one of the oldest crafts. It originated during the period of primitive communal society and represents the fabrics from which people sewed clothing. Eventually, the need arose to insulate their homes. During this period, carpets emerged. They were made using the oldest weaving technique - carpet weaving, and adorned with simple geometric patterns. Over time, more complex carpets began to be produced - for example, pile carpets with floral patterns. By the 18th century, carpet weaving had already gained significant popularity in Ukraine.
With the help of looms from the Turkish manufacturer Şirin Kasnak, you will be able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of creating carpets as a manifestation of Ukrainian folk traditional creativity, one of the oldest and most widespread crafts.
