Make a Ukrainian Caroling Star — Zirka! (copy)
Studio A at Pink Dog Creative presents:
Take part in the Ukrainian tradition of Zirkas — or caroling stars. The wooden star represents the Star of Bethehem and can be carried while caroling, in a lantern parade, used in a nativity scene or play, or as a lovely decoration in your home. Mounted on a wooden pole, you can decorate the spinning star with festive paint colors, ribbons, bells, tassels and other embellishments.
You can also add LED lights and carry your Zirka in Asheville’s Light the Night illuminated procession on Dec. 19. Each zirka is unique, and having a zirka visited by carolers or displaying it in the home is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and good fortune for the new year.
The workshop will be led by Asheville artists Anastasiia Avramchuk and Andrea Kulish Wilhelm.
