The exhibition of Vologda’s lace kicked off at the Elabuga Museum-Preserve in July. The exhibition of over 200 Vologda’s laceworks became a magnet for residents of the Republic of Tatarstan and guests.
The main purpose of the exhibition is to promote this brand of the Vologda Region, to strengthen cultural ties between the Vologda Oblast and Tatarstan.
The exhibition of Vologda lace from the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve shows amazing skills of our women in knitting. Vologda lace is a world famous brand, carefully keeping the ancient traditions of hand-made lace. Like a few centuries ago, it represents the glory of Russian lace, its impeccable quality and style.
Vologda has always been one of the main centres of Russian lace tatting, and in the 19th century it became the most famous one. It was that time when lace-makers began to tat lace patterns in the form of wonderful stars and snowflakes. Vologda lace reminds of hoarfrost on winter glass, which will disappear under the first rays of the March sun. It looks like a thin spider line, which will be torn by a waft of wind.
Elegant panels, napkins, tablecloths, finest hand-made dresses, light pelerines, cardigans and scarves are on display at the the Elabuga Museum-Preserve.
