Mat making course and training

making mats is one of the old crafts that nearly died out, but thanks to the new fashion trends, it came back to style. In the past, mat makers, masters of this craft, were the people who lived in the swamp areas, near the range of the plant called typha, which is used to make mats. Mats were used in many different ways – as curtains, floor mats, fences, beach or housing mats, etc.

The same material was used to make other things, such as bags, sacks, and numerous objects. People who worked as mat makers in the past had to cut the canes manually, dry it well so as to avoid mold, and then they would start making the products. The can was dyed using various colors, and different combinations, which made each product unique and attractive.

The products of this craft have returned suddenly into the world of fashion thanks to the Chinese, who have created genuine art out of their own cane products. Nowadays the craftsmen who are in this business have everything much simplified. They do not have to pick, carry or dry the cane on their own. They have the opportunity to simply buy the products, i.e. the cane that is dried and prepared, by the people whose job is only that. The tools used in this process have also changed, and became more modern, but the main procedure has remained. Mat making is still done manually, and the tools that are necessary are a knife, a hammer, wedges and parallel bars. Although it is one of those crafts nearly forgotten, Akademija Oxford is proud to have a course and training for mat making within our school.

The course and training for mat makers consists of three-month training, including 300 hours of practical training only. Once you complete the course you will have the necessary knowledge to work in this field. This specialized course in Akademija Oxford includes 80% practical training and 20% theoretical classes, after which the student is completely trained and ready to become a mat maker. All the necessary textbooks and anything else required for the theoretical classes is arranged by our school, as well as all the conditions for the students to acquire the knowledge simply and become proficient.

As far as those classes and the teaching staff are concerned, we can assure you that these are experienced and highly-qualified teachers who hold classes, which means that each trainee will receive the best possible education and vocational training, of the highest quality. We can also guarantee that you will be ready to start working independently and become a professional. This is a type of training that will enable you to have numerous opportunities – such as opening a workshop and becoming a self-employed person.

An important piece of information for all our students is about the validity of the diploma they will receive. The diploma is valid for the employment record book, since all of our certificates are recognized by the Education and Upbringing Improvement Institute, and acknowledged abroad.
