Textile has always been part of people’s life, from birth to death. Tools made of textile are there everywhere, in households, farming and of course clothing.

In our region, life was built around fibre works traditionally. The most determining moments of the life of the people who lived in the Bereg Tiszahát were related to textile made with weaving and then ornamented with embroidery.

Work in relation to textile determines life in villages throughout our region. The most important moments in the life of people living in Tiszahát are connected to weaving and embroidery of the textile thus produced.

A variety of earthenware was necessary to have for every household in the past. As pottery craft was only there in our region until the 17th century, people had to purchase pottery at fairs. Potters from various towns brought their products to fairs in Namény where the fair-goers could select from a variety of pottery.
