The Ukrainian community in Wales continues to preserve and pass down national traditions to its children. Petrykivka painting workshops, conducted by the talented Liza Kalyanova, are held periodically, allowing children and their parents to engage in this beautiful folk art. These sessions provide a wonderful opportunity for families to bond while learning about Ukrainian cultural heritage.
During the workshops, participants have the chance to try their hand at creating unique paintings in the Petrykivka style. Using brushes and special techniques, both children and adults recreate magical patterns that are an integral part of Ukrainian culture. The results are always stunning – vibrant, warm, and full of soul.
Such initiatives not only help preserve Ukrainian traditions far from home but also contribute to the development of creative abilities, strengthening the connection to their native culture.
It should be reminded that Petrykivka painting is part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage and a symbol of Ukrainian folk art. Therefore, such workshops are an essential step in preserving and promoting this unique art form among new generations.
We invite everyone to join future events organized by the Ukrainian community in Wales!
