The Bulgarian school was the host for the Erasmus + student exchange program, which happened in the end of March 2017 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The students learned a lot of new things with their new friends, and visited interesting places.
They worked in two groups with felting and glass. The activities were very unique and linked with Bulgarian culture. In the glass workshop they learned about its properties, colors and the technical side of working with the material. There were guests do a special workshop that taught the students how to make beads made from colored glass using burners.
In the felting workshop the students learned about the two ways of working with felt- wet felting that uses several layers of wool and soap water, and needle felting- which can be done on dry wool by using a needle to attach two or more colors and create 3D images. They used silk and made stunning flowers, necklaces, brooches and bracelets.
The exchange in Bulgaria was a great experience for improving cultural awareness, expanding my knowledge about foreign cultures and meeting new people...
