Celebrate the holidays and get creative with regional artist Mariya Blyznyuk. Blyznyuk will introduce adult participants to the art of Petrykivka, a decorative painting technique with roots in Ukrainian ornamental folk art. In this painting tradition, representations of festive flowers, leaves and berries make up the main design of the Petrekivska’s painting.
Mariya Blyzynuk will guide participants in the exploration of varied painting techniques using acrylic paint on a wooden bell, creating their own Petrykivka ornament to celebrate the winter season! Register early as spots are limited!
