A variety of techniques and handicraft skills
I have always enjoyed handicrafts. I learnt to embroider and sew at an early age from my mother. Since then I have also learnt the technique of bobbin-lace making and had the opportunity to visit the school in Idrija in May 2004, which I found inspirational.
Ana Marija was born in Melbourne, daughter of Slovenian settlers. From her mother she inherited the love of handicrafts, where she developed her own interests. She has received awards for her patchwork wall-hangings, has tackled copperwork, and produced a number of wall tapestries. Her bobbin-lace products are small and exquisitely made.
Vrsta tehnik in spretnosti v ročnih delih
Vedno sem imela rada ročna dela. Od moje matere sem se naučila vesti in šivati že v otroških letih. Pozneje sem se naučila tehniko kljekljanja and imela v maju 2004 priložnost obiskati kljekljarsko šolo v Idriji, ki mi je bila v inspiracijo.
Ana Marija je bila rojena v Melbournu, hčerka, slovenskih priseljencev. Od svoje matere je podedovala ljubezen do ročnih del, kjer je nadaljevala po svoji poti. Prejela je nagrade za stenske krpanke, bakroreze in številne stenske tapiserije. Njene idrijske čipke so majhne in izredno lepo izdelane.
