From the rich cultural heritage of broader region of Notranjska whose heart is the largest disappearing Lake of Cerknica in Slovenia, a group of students of the first year NTF KOTO drew inspiration and focused on the tradition of cultivation of flax. In doing so, they were to help the local folk tradition, creativity and nature-friendly accommodations and activities associated with the lake. They were so impressed that they created for the Heritage House, which is located in village Dolenja in Cerknica a collection of unique textile souvenirs, modern fashion accessories, unique linen fabrics and knitwear. The collection was presented in September 2014 in the deserted mill, the headquarters of Pajn.
Study project was conducted under the supervision of prof. Marija Jenko, doc. Katja Burger and tech. assist. Marjete Čuk, and was done in collaboration with Zavod za sonaravno bivanje Pajn, and its director Ljoba Jenče and textile design engineer Urša Telič Miler.
