Traditional Folk 'Pająk' Workshop - Warsaw - 7 March 2026

Slow down, unplug from screens and learn to make traditional folk "pająki"!

I invite you to a workshop creating traditional folk "pająki" called “Kalinka” – unique, colorful decorations made from straw and crepe paper.

During the meeting:

• you will make your own pająk
• you will learn to make “Kalinka” pom-poms
• you will learn how they were used in house decoration in the past
• you will immerse yourself in a peaceful, creative atmosphere
• you will spend time in an intimate, inspiring group
• you will eat tasty treats, drink juice and chat

This will be a few hours of creative respite – unhurried, pressure-free, with space for conversation and focus.

All materials are provided on site. You don’t need any prior experience – just willingness and openness.
