About the event
In this workshop, participants will discover the art of making Polish paper mobiles, known as pajaki—a beautiful folk tradition dating back to the 18th century. Historically crafted by women in rural communities, these intricate decorations were created for special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, and weddings. Made from sustainable materials like natural rye straw and paper, pajaki sway gently with the slightest breeze, adding a touch of magic to any space.
All materials are included in the cost of the workshop.
