Workshop with Bozena Hrycyna

The month of May is dedicated to Mother Mary, or we can think of Mother Earth, as all of earth is blooming and bearing life in this part of the world! The Great Goddess, Creatrix of Life, Berehynia, is depicted on ancient textiles and paintings as a figure with upstretched arms, or later, as a stylized Tree of Life, or Flowering Branch. This symbol is embroidered on many ritual towels-rushnyky, and considered a protective oberih (talisman). We’re excited to offer an introduction to the world of Ukrainian embroidery, in this Ukrainian Talisman workshop.
