TRADITIONAL FOLK CUT-OUT

10/07/2022

demonstration and workshop

We introduced the participants to the once forgotten and very popular art of making this craftwork. It used to be one of the most attractive decorative elements of a country living compartment during the festive season. It delighted with a variety of forms and shapes, from very simple basic ornaments to very elaborate compositions with floral, animal and abstract motifs. They decorated windows (paper curtains), furnaces, shelves, ceiling beams.

Workshop leader: Stanisław Mulica. Cut-outs of his work can be found both in the private and museum collections in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Germany, France, UK, Lithuania, Latvia, China, Japan, USA and Canada. He has taken part in many festivals and fairs, both domestic and international ones.
