Up to date, there has formed a Dynamic Cluster of Textile Designers who are united by Baltic amber. Each of the participants is a master in his/her craft, with a unique technology and creative thinking, and each work is handmade. Beauticians, bath designers and amber artists also joined the Baltic specialists.

Our association has attracted attention of Latvians expats in the US, France. Women form the majority of the association. The name of our association is AMBELIKA , which is similar to amber. Because the amber is a great keeper of the gene pool of our culture and history, as well as the woman is the keeper of the genetic resourses of humanity.

Everyone looks at the amber in his/her own way and embodies his/her creative potential in the products. Masters looked at such a well-known amber stone from a different stance, and the interest in amber began to revive. Cohesion and power in the course of this renaissance masters. A common concern is sharpened on top and do not pay attention to the nationality or religion, because the work is aimed at creative purposes, to unite people, to improve their life quality. Our creative work is boundless.

What is the concept of the association? All participants are freely interlinked, one feels the importance and necessity, not only in the exchange of creative ideas and material assistance to each other. The concept defined the strategy of action in order to unite.

A typical example: an exhibition in Germany (Hanover) on October 15-18, 2013, where Inita Dzalba, a Latvian textile-designer, presented her exclusive collection of products with amber and linen thread. Each of the members of our association has tried to contribute, because Inita, above all, represented one of the Baltic states – Latvia. And this work has benefited everyone (a new market and new contacts).
When we attend trade shows and conferences, we present competitive products on the basis of the traditional and modern culture and history of the Baltic States (primarily Latvia), with innovative ideas and unparalleled capacity to empower and inspire women.

Association (as well as I see my main mission) offers great opportunities to share enriching stories of transformation, success through overcoming challenges, testimonials and life lessons.
