Have you got some Estonian Folk Costumes laying around that are screaming to be photographed? Well now is your chance!!! The members of Sydney Käsitöö are hosting a photo day at Sydney Estonian House on Saturday 13th April 10am-3pm, bookings essential. If you would like to be part of this experience and book your 15 minute place, please head to www.marissapikkat.com/kasitoo and fill out the booking form. There is further information on there for you to read and connect with. We aim to build one of the biggest photo libraries of Estonian Folk Costumes.
This project is proudly lead by Mai Buchert, starting a few years ago, with the vision of continuing to build the collection of photos. If you do not have all the elements of your folk costume, not to worry, we have you covered with our Folk Costume Library, please contact Maie Pikkat on maiepikkat [at] bigpond.com for what you might need. This project would not be possible without the support of ECFA and Sydney Eesti Selts, so a big thank you to these organisations for their ongoing support.
We are looking forward to sharing this experience with Estonian’s in Australia and sharing our project with the world one day.
