Join us in November for Art After Work: Polish Stars with Eva Penar at The WasteShed. Register here.
Workshop Description
Using paper, participants will learn to create three-dimensional ornaments in the tradition of Polish Stars. The Polish word for these ornaments, Jezyk, translates to hedgehog, reflecting the ornament’s spikes and many sides. Traditionally these unique objects have been made from straw, paper, foil, andother broken items available on hand. Many Americans of Polish Descent continue this tradition of upcycled, one-of-a-kind holiday decorations.
