Kalunca Cultural Association, which was founded in 2016, builds its story on the foundations of the tradition of the Great DOL. The village was once home to the state lace course (1909-1954), one of the branches of the Vienna central lace course.
One of the main activities of the association is to explore and revive the bobbin tradition of Veliki Dolo.
The kalunca Cultural Association presents its work to the general public every year at the end of May with the Kalunca festival to the world. The Festival consists of various events ranging from exhibitions, workshops, to lectures, pit evaluations and project presentations.
In 2024, at 120. on the anniversary of the birth of Setko Kosovel, the association began to design a project that will be dedicated to the karst poet Setko Kosovel. The project will be presented on Sunday 18. in May 2025, at the Kalunca to the world event. The program will be enriched by the students of the Dutovlje elementary school.
Similar to previous projects (chrysanthemums by Max Fabiani for Stanjel, ruj leaves for the Botanical Garden of Sezana and horses for the Lipica Stud Farm), the project was conceived as a group bobbin of a large number of lacemakers and lacemakers, with the Association acting as an intermediary in donating lace to a public institution. The lace will be made for the kosovel library Sezana, which is the manager of the Kosovel homestead in Tomaj and one of the mediators of the messages of Kosovel's poetry.
You are kindly invited.
Kulturno društvo Kalunca , ki je bilo ustanovljeno leta 2016, gradi svojo zgodbo na temeljih tradicije Velikega Dola. V vasi je nekoč deloval Državni čipkarski tečaj (1909-1954), ena od podružnic dunajskega Osrednjega čipkarskega tečaja.
Ena glavnih dejavnosti društva je raziskovanje in obujanje klekljarske tradicije Velikega Dola.
Kulturno društvo Kalunca svoje delo predstavi širši javnosti vsako leto ob koncu maja s festivalom Kalunca v svet. Festival sestavljajo različni dogodki, od razstav, delavnic, do predavan, ocenjevanja pit in predstavitev projektov.
V letu 2024, ob 120. obletnici rojstva Srečka Kosovela, so v društvu začeli snovati projekt, ki ga bodo posvetili kraškemu pesniku Srečku Kosovelu. Projekt bodo predstavili v nedeljo 18. maja 2025, na prireditvi Kalunca v svet. Program bodo popestrili učenci OŠ Dutovlje.
Podobno kot že v prejšnjih projektih (krizanteme Maksa Fabianija za Štanjel, rujevi listki za Botanični vrt Sežana in konjički za Kobilarno Lipica), so si projekt zamislili kot skupinsko klekljanje večjega števila klekljaric in klekljarjev, pri čemer je Društvo posrednik pri darovanju čipk javni ustanovi. Izdelane čipke bodo namenjene Kosovelovi knjižnici Sežana, ki je upraviteljica Kosovelove domačije v Tomaju in ena od posredovalk sporočil Kosovelove poezije.
Vljudno vabljeni.
