lmntl ("elemental") crafts is interested in promoting
fine craftsmanship, especially in the area of ethnic folk art. We are
currently working with Hungarian artisans to develop our product lines, and hope
to expand to include other regions in the future. Our offerings
include:
--Hungarian embroidery kits featuring authentic patterns designed by Hungarian folk artists, along with historical information about the represented region. The first group of kits features Matyo style patterns from Mezokovesd.
--Handcrafted pottery, embroidered and handwoven textiles, and other unique items made by regional artisans. lmntl is able to offer these items at a very reasonable price by buying directly from the artisans.
lmntl's products are sold online,
and in a few retail shops. Wholesale inquiries are welcome;
retailers please email donna@lmntl.com
.
In addition to being an online
store, lmntl.com is also a source of information about
Hungary and Hungarian folk art. Visit our online bookstore for
books related to Central Europe and general needlework. The
features section contains in-depth original articles about some of the
regions and folk traditions of
Hungary.
