Arts and Crafts

For centuries, Zugdidi has been a centre for craftsmanship, due to its richness of natural resources. As a region neighbouring the Black Sea and Svaneti mountainous regions, Samegrelo has always been at the crossroads of foreign and local cultures, something that is easily noticeable in contemporary art. Over time, local craftsmanship was developed by the newer generations.
