About Peasant Art Craft
THE WORLD IS CHANGING  – How often do we hear that? In an increasingly technologized world, traditional arts and crafts are on the verge of being forgotten. Educating people about the value of an item made by hand is crucial.
“Small-scale food producers—peasants, artisanal fisherfolks, pastoralists, hunters, and gatherers—produce 70 percent of all food in the world”, says a recent report published by the U.N. Global Compact. Yet, they make the most ignored social class.

At PeasantArtCraft, we aim to encourage small-scale producers, by taking an active role in the rural community, participating in historic traditions, and sharing with the world.

Purpose

Promoting endangered heritage crafts and rural lifestyle.

Mission

We travel to remote villages looking for traditional artisans of Romania who still keep their ancient traditions alive and honor the traditional arts and crafts: loom weaving, wood carving, traditional embroidery, and leather crafts.

Result

The outcome of our prolific travels is a series of films, photographs, and texts documenting traditional crafts, folk art, and rural lifestyle in the Romanian villages at the present times.

Vreau să cumpăr piele de oaie a prietenului meu în slatina

I’m looking to buy a piece of the woven cloth I saw on a video of Dragus. My daughter is a weaver and admired and understood the lady in the video and her handiwork.
I’d love to buy a scarf or table topper or some small piece from Dragus for her Christmas present. Would that be possible? I’ll look forward to hearing from you and thank you so much.

Hello,
This is a website promoting Romanian crafts. But if you are interested in buying textiles, you can try visit museum shops in Bucharest. Muzeul Țăranului Român (The Museum Of the Romanian Peasant) has one shop with authentic textiles for sale. Gr. Bianca

Hello,
Do you make delivery to Japan?
If it is possible, please tell the price and estimated time of delivery.
Also, in case I order 20-30 blouses, is it possible to get a discount?

Looking forward to your reply.

Greetings, I wished to spend one well with a traditional cheese-making family in the rural area of Romania. Would you be able to arrange for such an adventure? I would be coming from the UK. So it would be very helpful if someone could speak some English somehow.

I very much look forward to your most favourable response at your earliest convenience.

Stay safe,

Hi!
I recommend contacting mr. Florin at Stana de pe coline, Floresti. Here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/stanadepecoline/

Hello! My goodness, I just found your website and I am over the moon happy. I am from Brasov and since last year, I am a spoon maker 🙂 I am coming back to Romania to reconnect with the craft from my country and would love to learn from makers. I am wanting to learn basket weaving and bowl turning, and potentially more. I will reach out to you for more, but do you have any contacts for those two, for now? So grateful to you for creating this treasure of a website. Thank you!
