SUMMARY:Motanka workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Motanka workshop led by Olha Verbytska on February 22nd at 11 am.All the materials are provided. The cost is $65.\nMotankas (Мотанка) are ancient Ukrainian family talismans. They are the symbol of prosperity\, goodness and hope. Then first knotted dolls appeared about 5\,000 years ago\, and represented the unity of the family and deep connection between multiple generations.\nThe name “motanka” comes from the word “motaty” (to wind) ie. to make a knotted doll out of fabric\, without using a needle and scissors. Motanka served as a talisman of human destiny and our ancestors believed that destiny cannot be pierced or cut.\nGenerally\, dolls were in the shape of a human figure\, usually a woman or a child\, and were made from pieces of fabric from old clothes of family members connected by knots.\nEach doll was unique and made with only good intentions and sincerity as it was believed that it has the power and will to act as a protector of a household and it’s inhabitants.
