In May and June, 50 pupils learned to crochet under the guidance of local craftsmen Ildikó Braun and Zsuzsa Major. This old craft, which is enjoying a revival, has proved a big hit with young people. At first, children learned simple crochet methods, made bracelets and necklaces, and then, step by step, they could try more difficult techniques. Some took less time and some took longer to learn the art of crochet, but in the end all the young people had fun and were able to take home some of the items they made to show their parents. The event, organized by the Ér Hangja Association, was part of the project “Digitization of crafts in the Ier Valley”, which aims to involve and familiarize local students with the traditional crafts of the region.
The project, supported by the European Solidarity Corps and managed by the Ér Hangja Association, is a partnership between the Petőfi Sándor High School and the Săcueni Town Hall and introduces local students to the old crafts of the Ier Valley.
