GET TO KNOW THE WORLD OF CREATORS
For more information about the program itself, you can stop by our special booth throughout the day. All workshops are free, and registrations will be collected on the day of the event, as the number of spots is limited. You are invited to join us in getting to know some other local artisans and masters who contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage in the Idrija-Cerkno region.
The creative workshops within the Idrija Žlikrof Festival are organized by the ID20 Institute in collaboration with the Idrija Youth Center. In a creative way, we combine 2 projects from the handicraft and heritage fields – Curae and Common Good.
