We have 2 new designs for 2018, marking the 100 years of Poland’s Independence.

Discover new designs and learn the traditional Polish Folk Art paper craft called Wycinanki (cut-outs) in this fun and creative workshop for adults and children 7 years and older.

A short presentation is included. PHTM will share with you the beauty of the Polish traditional cut-outs from 2 regions in Poland, Kurpie and Lowicz and their unique characters within the world of other cultures paper art and craft. At the beginning of the 19thC designs were cut and shaped as simple geometrical patterns of plants, animals or people.

Later when coloured decorative papers became more available, complicated patterns and multi coloured cut-outs made of layers of different colours and shapes emerged. After the workshop, enjoy the displays of wycinanki within the museum.
