Join us at SEH Studios in Dover and learn how to paint Petrykivka art. You don’t need to be an artist to attend this event. Everyone welcome. All skills level!
What is Petrykivka?
The people of the village of Petrykivka, Ukraine decorate their living quarters, household belongings and musical instruments with a style of ornamental painting that is characterized by fantastic flowers and other natural elements, based on careful observation of the local flora and fauna.
This art is rich in symbolism: the rooster stands for fire and spiritual awakening, while birds represent light, harmony and happiness. In folk belief, the paintings protect people from sorrow and evil. Local people, and in particular women of all ages, are involved in this folk art tradition.
The tradition of decorative and applied arts contributes to the renewal of historical and spiritual memory and defines the identity of the entire community.
We are offering 2 sessions:
1pm - 2:30pm
3pm - 4:30pm
Ukrainian refreshments and treats will be avaliable as well as all materials needed for you to make your own Petrykivka art on wooden board. You will go home with wooden board with your own Petrykivka design on it!
