Petrykivka Painting Workshop
Event description
Introducing a traditional Ukrainian tribute to the Northern Harvest!
Join experienced Ukrainian artist Elizabeth Gunko, for a 3-hour, beginner-friendly workshop and create a vibrant painting in the traditional Ukrainian painting style 'Petrykivka'. During this workshop you will learn more about ancient Ukrainian culture and the symbolism of this unique folk art style, which is recognised by UNESCO heritage.
Using acrylic paints on canvas, you will complete a gorgeous wreath of sunflowers and wheat sheaves, which significance plays tribute to the traditions of the Northern Harvest.
