My name is Anastasiia Kulikovskaia, and I am a BA Fashion Knitwear student (3rd year). My project explores the relationship between craftsmanship, happiness, and well-being, with a focus on how heritage practices—especially lace-making traditions. My engagement with craft began in childhood, when my grandmothers introduced me to stitching and crochet. In an era shaped by rapid production and digital abstraction, craftsmanship offers a vital counterbalance through tactile engagement and repetition. Each handmade detail becomes an act of care, transforming making into a source of grounding and psychological nourishment. Heritage is central to this investigation. Craft traditions act as vessels of memory, carrying cultural knowledge and shaping identity. Lace-making encodes histories and generational knowledge through practice. By reinterpreting these traditions, designers preserve crafts while fostering well-being, connection, and cultural continuity in contemporary fashion.
