Point Description

DUO Handicraft Center includes a pottery workshop, exhibition - sales gallery (store), ecomuseum and Puščenjak Hall (exhibitions).

Since 2006, the Marianum Veržej Institute has been operating the organizational unit of the Center DUO - Center of Domestic and Art Crafts. The educational center for the field of handicraft heritage of Eastern Slovenia provides such knowledge to younger generations through various workshops and research camps. Central activities include the preservation of Slovenian cultural heritage, the promotion of the development of domestic art crafts and the professional development of new forms of handicraft professions.

Sales-Expensive Gallery represents a reflection of the creative craftsmanship in Pomurje. There are over 30 craftsmen on the shelves, with a total added value of timelessness. Traditional craftsmen come in their products from family tradition, while the younger generation is looking at the challenges of modern times and seeking new forms and innovative approaches, of course, based on traditional knowledge and skills and natural materials. More and more modern craftsmen are also undertaking recycling and adding new usable value waste materials.

potter, Urška Ambrož, who works in a pottery workshop, will always accept you with a smile and will not be disturbed in her work - whether she will work on the spindle at the time, decorate or. Drawing on ceramics, glazing or loading a potter for the second time - for visitors, every step that is needed is needed to drink a coffee from a unique cup in the morning. In addition to a pot and other ceramic products, it can also produce custom products.

Handicraft is an important industry of the Pomurje man who has always been able to cooperate with nature and draw only the best he has to offer. We are aware that this value needs to be awakened and raised, while making craftsmanship interesting for a modern man. Ecomuseum thus represents collections of various craftsmen, which were created with the professional support of the Murska Sobota Pomurje Museum. The collections are updated and upgraded in order to connect the tradition with newly designed craftsmanship products that are created at various educational workshops, or. Products of the training participants themselves. The basis of the ecomuseis is represented by various exhibits of tools and products of craftsmen acquired or made on different activities of the DUO Center. We have already upgraded the Eco -Museum with a professional library that holds open documentation for all interested parties who would like to find literature edited in one place by crafts.

Certainly the most events take place right in the Design Hall. The space is suitable for both lectures of smaller groups, and above all serves as an exhibition space. Throughout the calendar year, at least four exhibitions are replaced - the exhibition of Slovenian cribs in Advent and Christmas time, an exhibition of feasts in Easter, a summer exhibition during the school holidays and an autumn exhibition.
