Have you started a Ukrainian textile project, like a sorochka or a rushnyk, but need more guidance to bring it to life? Or are you already familiar with textile work and eager to start something new? Join the Ukrainian Textile Club, presented by Myroslava Boikiv, St. Volodymyr Institute (SVI), and the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch. This club offers a hands-on, supportive environment where you can work on your traditional textile projects using authentic techniques. With Myroslava’s mentorship, you'll deepen your skills in sewing, embroidery, and weaving while connecting with others who share a passion for Ukrainian textile arts. Future workshops may also be introduced to welcome more members into our club.

Please note that the club's language will primarily be Ukrainian.

Our first meeting will take place on Thursday, October 9, at 6:30 PM at SVI - 620 Spadina Avenue. Myroslava Boikiv will present some of her work and share her background in Ukrainian textiles. This informal gathering will introduce the Ukrainian Textile Club and allow us to discuss each member's experience with textile work. The club aims to help participants gain confidence in traditional Ukrainian textile crafting while understanding the intentional techniques used by our ancestors. We’ll assess the needs of the group to tailor future sessions to your projects and interests.

First meeting: Free, but RSVP is required.
