Petrykivka Painting Workshop at HMS Unicorn 🇺🇦

Join us at HMS Unicorn for a creative workshop connected to the exhibition What We Carry.

This workshop is dedicated to Petrykivka painting - a beautiful traditional Ukrainian decorative art recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

Petrykivka painting is known for its bright colours, flowers, berries, leaves, and birds. Traditionally, it has been used to decorate homes, everyday objects, and special cultural items in Ukraine.

At the workshop, participants will learn about this unique tradition and create their own Petrykivka-inspired painting to take home.

No experience is needed. All materials will be provided.

Spaces are limited to 10 participants. Suitable for ages 12+.

We all love a good nautical quote here at HMS Unicorn....
so you can imagine how excited we were to find out we actually have our very own.

A little piece of Unicorn history, and one we think still rings true today.

Safe to say, we'll be adding this one to our favourites.
