0104 THE WEAVER…

Tour of Europe 04 2016

 

Day 12

The boat tour over, we have a refreshment on a terrace of the most iconic place in Brugge? De Rozenhoedkaai (Pink/Rose Hat Quay literally, but the proper meaning is rosary, the reason was that stalls were set up at that spot selling rosaries). And onwards we go.

 

On the picturesque Fish-market of Brugge, we meet this weaver from Latvia again. Last Summer we bought a scarf for Paul here, now we meet him: the creative textile designer – weaver Janis Rozentals

 

He began his career in the Old Town Riga sand for several years wove on the wheeled loom and sold the scarves, all over the world. Made out of linen, they are beautiful.

He loves Bruges. Of course, we go home, with… yes, you’ve guessed it, another scarf!

 

If you are interested in seeing a dedicated artist at work, a fascinating movie here.

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)
