✨ 🥚I’m delighted to invite you to a Pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg) workshop I’m running this year in the lead-up to Easter.

Join me to discover this magical tradition using a beautiful combination of candle flame, natural beeswax, and the traditional tool called “kistka” — all natural materials, just as it has been done for generations. I will introduce you to the tools, demonstrate every step, and guide you as you create your own designs.

All eggs are prepared for you — and this year you’ll have the chance to work on both goose eggs and hen eggs, making your creations even more special. You’ll leave with two stunning pieces to display proudly at home.

📍 Workshop will take place on Saturday 21 March in Fabric Paper Scissors Studio, Gedney Hill , Holbeach Drove, PE12 OPP

Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, cultural exchange, beautiful storytelling, and the chance to create a piece of unique traditional art you simply won’t find anywhere else. Refreshments are included.

🥚☀️ Perfect for beginners — no experience needed. Come on your own or with a friend, and treat yourself to a truly special creative day.

Happy New Year 2026!✨

May you be surrounded by those who truly see your worth,

who support rather than diminish you,

and who walk beside you in the same direction.

May new projects lead you towards strength, calm,

and quiet confidence in who you are.

Protect your inner ground.

Do not allow your dignity to be crossed.

You have the right to stand firm.

And may Ukraine — standing strong in this war against all odds —

be your inspiration

to stand with dignity,

self-respect,

and belief in your own strength.

✨🪽Дорогі друзі, від ZIRKA Ukrainian Art Hub вітаю всіх зі світлим святом Різдва Христового🙏

У цей особливий час хочу побажати нам усім не втрачати віри — віри в нашу перемогу, віри в Україну, віри в світло, яке сильніше за будь-яку темряву. Незважаючи ні на що.

Пам’ятаймо своє коріння. Святкуймо Різдво по-українськи — зі змістом, із душею, з пам’яттю про те, як це робили наші предки. Нехай у кожній родині буде свій ритуал — маленький або великий — у якому ви передаєте дітям частинку нашої культури, наших традицій, нашої ідентичності.

А якщо ваші батьки не мали змоги або не знали, як святкувати по-українськи — це не біда. Дізнайтеся, вивчіть, відкрийте для себе ці традиції. Створіть нові. Головне — навчіть своїх дітей пам’ятати, хто ми є, і нести Україну в собі.

Від усього серця бажаю українцям вистояти. Бути міцними. Вижити. І зберегти себе — як народ, як культуру, як націю 💛💙✨

З Різдвом Христовим!Перемоги і миру 🙏
💛💙✨

🌲🔔🪽Our Christmas Nativity Play is created by people with big hearts.

Adults of all ages -together with teenagers and children -come even after a busy work week, often tired but always inspired, to create decorations at our workshops, rehearse their lines, and learn carols.

This is a volunteer-led Ukrainian Nativity Play where everyone is welcome to join!

We offer a platform for people to share their talents and professionalism, to create something truly special, to play, to express themselves, and even to fulfil a childhood dream of taking part in a Nativity Play.

It all comes together like a little piece of magic -a space where every person can shine.

This year, our cast and volunteers include professional singers from Norwich and established musicians based in Peterborough - talented performers of Ukrainian origin who generously give their time, passion, and artistry to make this event possible. They are joined by dedicated families and participants travelling from different parts of England to share this special moment with us.

This year’s event is at Downing Place Church, Cambridge, with the Nativity, Classical Music, festive snacks and coffee, and a Christmas market of handmade Ukrainian crafts.

With our event, we proudly support Convoy4Ukraine, a UK-registered organisation based in Cambridge. Their team will be present at the event with a stand and a charitable Christmas raffle.

Our volunteers are the heart of this project -every smile, every costume, and every scene exists because of their love, creativity, and commitment.

🎟️⬆️Get your tickets through the link in our bio. Children under 14 enter free when under adult supervision.
