The live demonstration of the development cycle of silkworms (from hatching from the egg, through spinning into silk cocoons, to the final mating of the butterflies) is placed in a new paradigm of Slovenian sericulture or silk farming, which in an urban environment takes on a broader artistic dimension with the installation in the gallery space: at the climax of the exhibition, silk weavers will perform flat silk weaving or two-dimensional spinning of artistic sculptures, while Slovenian silk sericulturists will demonstrate the valuation and unwinding of silk cocoons into shining silk threads, as well as the dyeing and weaving silk, as well as embroidering and lacemaking with it. You can also see beautiful silk garments, silk fabrics and Idrija lace made from silk thread.
