Chandelier spider creation workshop

Spiders are colorful, light decorations that used to decorate the interiors of Polish houses, especially during the Christmas period, and today they are experiencing their renaissance. Participants of the workshop will learn about the history of folk spiders, the meaning and symbolism, traditional techniques of their execution. The workshops will be an opportunity not only to get to know one of the most interesting elements of Polish folk culture, but also to spend time creatively, slow down and prepare your own, unique Christmas decoration.
