Showcase Your Work at the 43rd Idrija Lace Festival
We invite you to display your lacework at the 3rd amateur exhibition as part of the 43rd Idrija Lace Festival. This year’s theme, “Bee-inspired Connections”, unites the lace-making tradition with beekeeping heritage.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Idrija Town Apiary and 45 years of the Idrija Beekeepers’ Association, the Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association will serve as the festival ambassador. Together with Tina Koder Grajzar, we’ve created three bee patterns for you to craft into unique lace pieces.
Just as bees diligently collect nectar and build honeycombs, lace-makers passionately gather threads and weave intricate lace patterns.
This year, your creations will not only be displayed at the festival but also have the opportunity to “fly” across Slovenia and be showcased in other locations.
What to do:
- Download and print the provided the patterns.
- Choose your preferred materials—feel free to get creative!
- Send or bring your finished piece(s), along with your contact details (name, address, email), to:
ZAVOD ZA TURIZEM IDRIJA
“For Bee-inspired Connections”
Mestni trg 2, SI – 5280 IDRIJA - Include a declaration in the envelope if you want your bee to “travel” to other exhibitions in Slovenia. Without this statement, your work will be returned after the festival.
Submissions will be accepted until May 15, 2025, and displayed during the festival from June 13 to 15, 2025.
