The lectures will present the textile production connected with the Central European civil society in terms of the production process and the application of textiles in the creation of garments or home textiles. Part of the lectures is therefore also devoted to textile decoration techniques. The aim of the lectures is to prepare the students for independent study of traditional textile production and clothing culture. Students will acquire the ability to apply knowledge and interpret, analyze and evaluate the subject of their studies in terms of time, production or artistic expression.
