We were here at the FESTIVAL OF FOLK ARTS, the traditional meeting of folk artists will be held for the twenty first time this year around the Buda Royal Palace in the Castle. For four days the best representatives of folk crafts will show the secrets of their crafts while working in their workshops with the participation of the audience.
This year the main subject is leather craft. Craftsmen, who can be seen working will include woodcarvers, mat makers, calico makers, felt makers, embroiderers, wheelwrights, rope makers, blacksmiths, potters, musical instrument makers, harness makers, weavers, lace makers, egg painters and honey cake makers. There will also be opportunity for the children to try the fundamentals of folk craft traditions.
I kind of like those flags flying in the breeze triumphantly in this photo. Maybe because the mood here is all about preparing for the Hungarian’s big day on the 20th August. Wanna know why it’s ‘big day’?:) Click on and you will know ;)
