In her workshop, she focuses on hundreds of years old patterns, specific to the Olt Country, preserving the traditional "chosen" technique and the authentic colors - red, white and black. Her students often work according to motifs learned from village elders, continuing a tradition that was at risk of being lost. Rodica Ispas is more than a teacher: she is a keeper of identity. Through her patient work and gentle pedagogy, she has managed to transform cotton and wool threads into connections between generations. Her value lies in education through craft, in caring for the simple beauty of the village world and in the way she manages to give tradition a future.
