Service Description
Ages 11+, students under 16 must be joined by an adult registrant. Participants create a symbolic Motanka bird, horse, or doll using fabric and thread without sewing. The workshop explores the history and meaning of these traditional handmade talismans and their place in Ukrainian cultural heritage.
