Moldovan Woven Carpet Pattern Studio

Choose a bold floral medallion, border and ground colour, then fill the rug pattern cell by cell on a loom grid, matching symmetry rules of traditional Moldovan wall and floor carpets.

Heritage note

Part of the living heritage of Moldova. Some forms of this practice carry deep meaning for the communities who keep it; here we describe the play and the craft only, with respect for its roots.

Origins

A living tradition passed from person to person; it is not tied to a single dated origin. It belongs to the cultural world of Northern and Eastern Europe.
