Polish Expert Folk Art Training, Shopping

The Artistry of Wigilia workshop covering Polish Advent and Christmas rituals and folk craft workshops always teaches me something new. Our friend Virginia Luty - The Polish Peddler - has called to say she is bringing her goodies too! This is another great way to pass our colorful heritage on to the family with ease.

Get some impressive, distinctive holiday gifts from a variety of vendors to include Polish pottery, amber, folk art, and Christmas ornaments.

We will also have our famous sekacz cakes, paczki and chocolate pierogi for sale!

Children friendly projects throughout the day!

I am THRILLED that St. Columba Cathedral is welcoming us to merge our Wigilia Workshop into their fledgling holiday craft show. The event schedule is below. Join us on
