Lost Thread WICIstore

WICI store is a joint initiative of a group of long time friends with passion for crafting and living history. Like a family, we are bounded by values - we want to preserve ancient crafts (weaving, leatherwork, nalebinding), master them and connect them to the present day. We value good craftsmanship, sustainable production methods and natural materials. All items in our shop are carefully hand made by us. Who are we? Emilia is a researcher and a weaver. When you contact us regarding tablet weaving, it will be her to advise you. Anna is a master of single needle knitting and a photographer. The other Anna runs her own artistic studio where she creates historical, fantasy and theatrical costumes. She is a sculptor and an experienced festival coordinator, too! Maciej works in finances and loves historical martial arts. His accuracy in numbers translates into masterful leather works. We met when we were 15, in a small town in central Poland where a living history society was pretty much the only thing to do. We loved it and it changed our lives. In 2016 we established a non-governmental organisation (Association for the Promotion of Old Crafts and Culture, wici.org.pl) through which we share our passion and knowledge with others. Our goal and dream is to arouse curiosity about creative use of traditional crafts in contemporary education, art and design. We organise workshops and educational activities for families and people in difficult situation who normally wouldn't afford to pay for cultural events. We want to raise awareness about the value of ethically produced hand made items. When you buy from us, you also support our organisation as we use this income to cover the cost of our activities, tools and materials. Thank you for dropping by! We hope you stay in touch on social media where we regularly post about our ongoing projects, dreams and plans.
