Four new craftsmen are enlisted in the digital edition Homo Faber Guide of the International “Michelangelo” Foundation. At the time of its launching in the middle of September, 2020 it contained the business cards of ten craftsmen from our country. It became possible, due to the fact, that the “Etar” Museum is Ambassador of Bulgaria in the Foundation, and the Director of the Museum – Prof. Svetla Dimitrova, PhD, being the Bulgarian representative in the Cultural Council of this international Foundation.
The fourteen Bulgarian craftsmen use clay, metal, leather, wood and paper in their work. The digital edition Homo Faber Guide presents such artisans, whose production is of exclusive artistic value and the quality of the finished products is on a high level, according to the evaluation of experts of the Foundation.
