Motanka-making is an ancient practice. Motanka knotted dolls are thought to carry the power of ancestors as guardians. They protect your home, and support health, well-being, harmony, success and happiness.

They first appeared about 5000 years ago and represented the unity of the family and the deep connection between multiple generations. Today, Motanka make eco-friendly cultural gifts for a housewarming, holiday, or other celebration!

All materials are included with the workshop. However, you’re welcome to bring your own supplies to make your Motanka more personal, including fabric, embroidery thread, ribbons, and other decorations.

At the end of the 2-hour workshop, you will go home with one 9-inch Motanka doll and instructions to make future dolls.

Participation for this special event is limited to 20. Please RSVP.
