Workshops ”From the painted chest- Kuyavian cutout”

 

It's high time to decorate our houses with cutouts ....

In November, The Song and Dance Ensemble invites you for another workshops ”From the painted chest- Kuyavian cutout”.

Cutouts that appeared in our Polish folk art were influenced by Jewish culture. Colourful cutouts were not only decorating a certain place, but they had also a magical meaning. At the beginning they were made of a white paper. When in the second half of the XIX century a colourful paper and tissue papers appeared, they became exquisite, rainbow decorations. Depending on adopting forms (plant, animal, human figures, figures), they are called: stars (round, in the shape of a horn), rings, trees, dolls,”leluje”, cockerels.

On Saturday, 18th November you will have an opportunity to make your own cutouts under a watchful eye of Krystyna Zagrabska who is a folk artist. See for yourself how beautiful your house can look like when it is decorated by colourful Kuyavian motives.

Tickets: 10 PLN (you can buy in a ticket office until 15th November

 

The workshop will be graced by children from the Song and Dance Ensemble "Kujawy".

 

You are warmly welcome to visit us!

Fotorelacja

Colourful ''spider'' hanging from the ceiling ....

 

“Brewery B.” Cultural Center invites children and adults to participate in the Ethno Competition for the most beautiful Kuyavian Spider. The competition is addressed to individuals- children, young people and adults as well as to groups such as families, art sections, country housewives' clubs, etc.

 

Folk spiders are traditional decorations hanging from the ceiling, in the middle of the room during the Christmas season. Spiders were the symbol of fertility, abundance and happiness in the new year. The name spider referred to court chandeliers. In the old days, spiders were made of natural resources like straw, grain, peas, beans. People also used tissue papers, crewel, ribbons, threads and blown eggs. Spiders took on various forms and shapes.Several types of spider have evolved on Kujawy: a chandelier spider, a spider called “carrousel”, a crystal spider, a shield spider. Nowadays, folk artists making spiders can use the whole range of colourful tissue papers and papers.

 

Kuyavian, colorful spider can be a beautiful and original decoration made with our own hands in any interior, especially during Christmas.

 

Cultural Center "Brewery B." invites you to participate in Ethno Competition. We are waiting for colorful spiders until December 4, 2017.

National Reading of ”The Wedding” by Stanisław Wyspiański

 

The President of Włocławek- Marek Wojtkowski and Włocławek Theater invited to read the fragments of Stanisław Wyspiański's drama: The Wedding, within the framework of National Reading Action.

Fragments of this drama, presenting authentic events - the wedding of Lucjan Rydel who was a poet with a peasant woman Jadwiga Mikołajczykówna, were read from a theatrical scene, which was transformed on that Saturday evening into one of peasant cottages in Bronowice, (Podkarpacka village from the turn of the nineteenth century), filled with wedding figures and props, costumes from those days and dancers. Actors of The Stubborn People Theatre and dancers of the Song and Dance Ensemble "Kujawy" created a nice atmosphere that enriched an interesting text of Stanisław Wyspiański's drama.
