Motanka-Doll Workshop

📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Shevchenko Museum, 1604 Bloor Street West, Toronto ON M6P 1A7

The Shevchenko Museum invites you to a workshop conducted by artist Nadiia Voloshchuk who will teach you to make a traditional fabric doll from Ukraine.

This technique of doll-making uses fabric, batting, thread and ribbon to create beautiful, colourful figures. Make it as a gift or as a treasure for yourself. There is no sewing involved and no prior experience is required.

This ages-old craft of doll-making, passed down through generations, reflects not only cultural and spiritual beliefs, but also the bond between grandmother and granddaughter, mother and daughter. A representation of love, hope, and faith in goodness, these dolls served as a talisman. As a rule, village girls owned several dolls with which they played out various life situations. In many families, the dolls were inherited, because it was believed that they embodied the soul of the mother or grandmother.

All materials will be provided. (fabric, ribbons, decorations).
Cost: $55 per person
Ages: 13+
