Some of the studios and work from students at LEPL Community College AISI, in Telavi. From top to bottom: felted grape arbor(!) the ceramic studios, felt wall pieces inspired by beloved Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani, along side nabadis–Caucasian cloaks worn traditionally by men. I’ve seen nabadis referred to as a ‘burka’ and also worn by the military (according to wikipedia) but am not sure this is really correct. However, I remember my Georgian friends telling me nabadis were worn by shepherds to keep warm while watching their flocks in the cold mountain winters.
