Petrykivka Traditional Ukrainian Painting Workshop

29 Jun 2025

12:30 - 14:30

University of Bradford

Experience the rich tradition of Petrykivka painting, a UNESCO-recognised Ukrainian folk art, through this uplifting, hands-on workshop with artist and cultural organiser, Olha Zhydetska.  

Originally from Kyiv, Zhydetska came to the UK as a refugee following the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Now living in West Yorkshire, she channels her deep love of traditional art into community building and cultural exchange. 

With roots in 18th-century village life, Petrykivka is known for its joyful floral motifs and symbolic detail. Under Zhydetska’s expert guidance, you’ll learn its techniques and meaning while creating your own decorative artwork.  

No experience necessary. All materials provided.  

The recommended age for this event is 16+. Under 18's must be accompanied by an over 18 ticket holder.
