Embroidery Workshops:

In Manitoba, as the weather gets cooler and the days grow shorter, thoughts turn towards indoor activities. This would be a similar occurrence in the traditional Polish home. One popular indoor activity was embroidery. Polish homes drew on a rich tradition of patterns and styles, with each region having its own distinctive colours and motifs.

The Ogniwo Polish Museum is offering a series of 4 introductory Polish embroidery techniques workshops. The workshops will take place at the Ogniwo Museum on the following dates:

Tuesday October 14, 21, 28, and November 4, 2008, 7 - 9 PM

The cost for the series is $40 per participant. Participants need to provide their own embroidery hoop and scissors. All other supplies will be provided (the cost of these supplies is included in the workshop fee).

For further information regarding these workshops, please call 586-5070 or e-mail info@polishmuseum.com.
