Ukrainian American artist Yaroslava Surmach Mills grew up in NYC’s Ukrainian Village and became a versatile artist who also illustrated children’s books. She was inspired by the Ukrainian folk art tradition of reverse glass painting and created lively, whimsical, brightly colored scenes. Join us for a family workshop where you will listen to a reading of a book illustrated by Yaroslava which is based on the classic Ukrainian folk tale The Mitten and learn about the Ukrainian folk art tradition of reverse glass painting that inspired her. This will be followed by a fun craft where you will make your own reverse glass painting with characters taken from The Mitten, using softer, more suitable clear plastic sheets.
This workshop is for families with children ages 3 – 12. The fee is $7 per family member and $5 per Museum member.
