THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM: A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE dates for each course will be announced at a later date. The embroidery course is geared for beginners to ad vanced participants. From the basic cross-stitch to intri cate stitchery, the techniques of Ukrainian embroidery will be explored and explained. The course in the tradi tional craft of woodcarving will also be open to begin ners as well as to persons with advanced knowledge of the art. Participants will use special tools to created both decorative and functional geometric motifs, so special to the woodcarvers in the Carpathian Mountains. Both courses require a fee which includes all supplies. The Ukrainian Museum, founded by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, sported a busy calendar of events in the past year. In addition to maintaining its permanent collections “Ukrainian Folk Costumes and Parts of Costumes,” and “Folk Art from the Carpathian Mountains,” the Museum presented new exhibitions, of fered courses, staged fund raising activities and organ ized two traveling exhibits. LEARNING WITH HANDS Workshops and courses in popular Ukrainian crafts drew many to the Museum, where under the guidance of expert artisans, students expanded their skills or ac quired new ones. Courses in embroidery, woodcarving, creating Ukrainian traditional Christmas ornaments, and the art of making pysanky, were just a part of the cultu ral learning experience at the Museum. For the Fall season, the Museum will repeat two very popular courses: embroidery and woodcarving. The CULTURE ON THE GO At the present time, the Ukrainian Museum’s two travel ing exhibitions are creating great interest and receiving praise for their beauty and heritage value of the ex ponents. “The Lost Architecture of Kiev” exhibition explores through photographs, drawings and plans, and facades, the demolished churches and landmarks of Kiev, which existed in the 17th and 18th century.

The curator of this exhibition is Titus Hew- ryk from Philadelphia. “The Traditional Crafts of Ukraine” exhibition is at this time being shown at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton NJ.
