Join Maria Rypan for this workshop where she will show you how netting is beaded. Thanks to the marvels of cameras and Zoom, you will be able to see close ups of how she strings beads and passes them through a common bead to create a net, the basic pattern of a traditional Ukrainian sylianka, or beaded collar.
This co-presentation with the Ukrainian Genealogy Group - National Capital Region (Ottawa, Ontario) will explore the diversity of Ukrainian immigrant experiences in North America.
Be dazzled by the splendour of traditional adornments (‘prykrasy’) from different ethnographic regions of Ukraine. See how seed beads create incredible patterns and motifs in loomwoven gerdany, and netted sylianky. Understand why and how the distinctive adornments styles were worn. This spirit continues to inspire contemporary beaders of today as seen in Maria Rypan’s rich visual presentation.
Young artists will learn about weaving techniques, make their own loom, and then create their own mini woven tapestry called a kilim.
