Embroidered Talisman Workshop – Introduction to Ukrainian Goddess Embroidery
Promoted by Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch
Event Description
WORKSHOP WITH BOZENA HRYCYNA
Bozena is excited to offer an introduction to the world of Ukrainian embroidery, in this Ukrainian Talisman workshop. Join her at the Museum for an evening embroidery workshop dedicated to Ukrainian embroidery, and the Great Goddess - Mother, Life.
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).
