Svitlana Yatsenko
Picturesque flowers, cross-stitch embroidery. Come to a place where bright threads intertwine with thoughts and create stories. Embroider! Preserve! And pass it on to future generations!

Silvia Aarma and Nataliia Liventaal
Estonian archaic embroidery. The motifs of Kihnu-Mulgi archaic embroidery date back to the Middle Ages and have a sacred origin. The main elements are the cross, the circle, the spoked wheel, the tree of life and the rose. The embroidery is reminiscent of medieval church frescoes and stained glass. Archaic motifs are pleasantly simple and can be done quickly. The archaic Mulgi pattern on folk costumes and modern consumer goods has been included in Estonia's intangible cultural heritage.

"Raudrohi"
A wonderful club of Estonian national embroidery craftswomen. Dressed in superb Estonian national costumes, they will teach you Estonian embroidery techniques.

Olena Dubovyk
Angel motanka, simple version. We will make little motanka angels that you can take home as a gift for yourself and your loved ones. They will be your little Berehynias (guardians)!

Nataliia Kalinina
Painting on ceramics: a photo frame and magnets. Create your own pattern on a clay piece – a unique handmade creation: a magnet or photo frame decorated by you! You will learn the basics of ceramic painting: how to apply paint correctly, work with brushes of different sizes, combine colours and create expressive ornaments and compositions.

Maryna Elbing
Knitting and beadwork. Beads, necklaces and inspiration with your own hands. A new life for grandmother's necklaces: we turn old necklaces into stylish jewellery. We will also make simple beaded flowers and decorate knitted or jersey items with them. A little inspiration – and ordinary things become special!

Inna Yurchenko
The spiritual doll. Learn to wind the base of a motanka doll. A guardian, a helper, an embodiment of dreams and hopes!

Alla Inno-Yakymenko
Decorating wooden items with decoupage. You will learn how napkins, adhesives, paint and varnish can give simple objects an original design.

Marianna Ostrohliad
Seascape. We will paint a small seascape in acrylics. We will use not only brushes but also try a palette knife, a tool for textured painting. For any age and level of painting experience.

Yuliia Shevchenko
The Ukrainian braid. A long, colourful braid represents a girl's rich and full life path. This year we are braiding a traditional Ukrainian braid with ribbons. We will talk about the meaning of the ribbon colours and the order in which they are placed in the braid.

Olena Tsyhanok
Fun pencils. Together we will create bright and creative pencils using foamiran, glitter and funny eyes. A true work of good mood!
