What is a Slavic Doll?
Slavic doll is a traditional textile craft with a history of approximately one thousand years, playing a vital role in the life of Slavic people.
Slavic dolls vary in their making and purposes. They can be used as toys for children, placed in homes for blessings and protection, and are also commonly used in various rituals and celebrations. Nowadays, traces of Slavic dolls are rarely seen in Russian cities, only found in certain areas that continue to preserve traditional culture, making them a precious cultural asset.
During this event, we will craft the herbal doll, Кукла "Кубышка – травница," which is filled with an assortment of natural herbs traditionally believed to confer blessings and enhance health.
About the Workshop
This course will demonstrate a special Slavic traditional binding technique, teaching participants how to create most of the doll’s body without using needles or scissors. The herbal doll in Slavic tradition, is particularly unique, with its body packed with a variety of aromatic herbs. Not only are these dolls cute, but they also emit a captivating scent. Ancient Slavs believed that these dolls could protect one's health! At the end of the course, each participant will have crafted their own Slavic doll.

Wow, I never knew dolls could be this interesting! They remind me of important things, like not overthinking and staying confident. The event was fantastic and heartfelt. The teacher and staff were dedicated, and I left feeling happy and touched!
I had no idea traditional dolls could represent males too! I always thought this symbol 卍 was exclusive to Buddhism.
Thanks to Anna & Nene for their engaging and informative teaching. It was a profoundly enlightening experience.
Anna provided a detailed history of the dolls, and whenever I encountered difficulties during the crafting process, she was always there to help. It was awesome!
