Master Classes
Here, children create their first masterpieces and get unforgettable emotions from their own creativity
BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr invites everyone to cognitive master classes, where everyone can reveal their creative potential.
Painting of the Yavoriv toy
The art of creating toys has been passed down from generation to generation in the Yavoriv region. We preserve these traditions and promote Yavoriv toys among young people by holding workshops for both adults and children.
Yavoriv toys maintain their eco-friendliness: their shine and velvety texture are achieved through careful sanding of each detail; they are completely lacquer-free, which is another distinctive feature; and safe acrylic paints are used for coloring.
Each Yavoriv toy is hand-painted and becomes a cherished keepsake that you can take home as a memento of the sanctuary.
There are no age restrictions for participating in the master class.
Group size: 15–30 participants.
Duration: 45 minutes
Cost: 150 UAH per person
