Decorative petrykivka artwork is a joy to look at and have in your home! We will help you learn how to create your own petrykivka masterpiece under the guidance of master artist Marina Volk. Petrykivka decorative painting, as described on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is an ornamental folk art rich in symbolism.
