Nature crafting fashion

Credits

This exhibition was created as part of the project CRAFTED that focuses on a diverse set of crafts-related items and develops curatorial outputs and activities that address the specific material qualities of newly aggregated and already existing objects related to the subject on Europeana. The project supports the transfer of European crafts to future generations by aggregating, enriching and promoting tangible crafts heritage and preserving intangible skills and knowledge from craftsmen and artisans.

CRAFTED is a project co-funded by the EC under the CEF-Telecom program.
