Info

Update: thank you for so much interest in the workshops. Right now, we’re printing more stencils for those of you, who would like to make a mask at home. You can come to WRO Art Center and pick it up for free.

This time to conduct the workshop, we have invited our friend – artist Joytu Jahan, who comes from Bangladesh, lives in Wrocław, and studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts here.

Joytu will show us the Bangladeshi tradition of creating New Year’s animal masks. We will also learn tricks to transform a piece of paper into a three-dimensional object.

Each person attending the workshop will cut a mask from a template and decorate it how they want – a tiger to symbolize courage and strength or an owl to bring good luck – and then take it home.

We especially invite children with their parents, friends, and anyone interested.

We provide all the materials. Participation in the workshop is free. We will get along in Polish, Ukrainian, and English, depending on your needs.
