What is Petrykivka painting?

Originating from the village of Petrykivka in Ukraine, this traditional decorative painting style has been recognized on a UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its vibrant colours and intricate patterns create stunning works of art.

This art is rich in symbolism: the rooster stands for fire and spiritual awakening, while birds represent light, harmony and happiness. In Ukrainian folk belief, the paintings protect people from sorrow and evil.

Our cafe is will be open from 11-3 and there will be a chance to pre-order light lunch to enjoy during the brief lunch break.

Experience a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in our spacious cafe and studios at Stockport Hat Works. Enjoy the freedom to express yourself and feel the benefits of creativity, connect with fellow art enthusiasts, and take home something to be proud of.

Our workshops are inclusive and supportive, providing space to grow and learn together. Whether you're an experienced artist or taking your first steps, we welcome all abilities.
