I became aware of Ms Chornas beautiful work when I saw a class that she is offering just up the street from me. I could not wait to register to create my own Christmas decoration. I then looked at her Instagram and saw her magnificent cards and decorations. And then the creative work she does with children. Before my class I will come to OOAK as I know she is an exhibitor. I look forward to many experiences of her work. I have taken the class now and am very grateful. It is difficult to be so gifted as Ms. Choras, but learning her techniques is a blessing. I hope to learn more in the future. Thank you for the beauty and knowledge of this UNESCO art. ❤️🙏
I attended a few Pertrykivka workshops with Olena Chorna Fine Arts and each time i had an awesome experience. Olena is a great artist and amazing person. She teaches Ukrainian heritage art and by the end of the workshop you have your own master piece, even if you never tried it before. I highly recommend Olena's classes. Petrykivka is beautiful, relaxing and perfect for anyone who wants to learn something new or improve your skills! I tried Olena's Easter egg workshop, a cup decoration, Thanksgiving cookies decoration, and already signed up for the Christmas ornament workshop. Cannot wait for the next class!
I had such a wonderful time at Olena’s Pumpkin Painting Workshop! The atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and Olena guided us step by step with so much patience and creativity. I loved how my pumpkin turned out—it’s truly one of a kind! This workshop was the perfect mix of festive, unique, and therapeutic. I can’t wait to join the next one!
Had such an amazing time with my husband painting our cutting boards. It was an excellent way to connect with Ukrainian culture and engage in a fun art activity, as well as meet other people. Olena was such a fun teacher, I learned a lot of good techniques and really enjoyed my lesson!
I had the pleasure of attending one of Olena’s painting workshops at the Shevchenko Museum in Toronto, it was a very wonderful and informative experience. I would highly recommend taking a class with Olena. She is a wonderful instructor!
