Hannah Paykina

Being the manager of her own center for children and their parents, Hannah has come to the conclusion that small children are taught best through fairy tales namely folk tales. To make the process more interesting, the artist used to make puppet shows from cardboard. Later she mastered the dry felting technique and soon afterwards she created a large puppet theater from flocks of wool.

Creative work

Soft wolves, foxes, bears, frogs, gods, chicken and roosters; an old man, woman and their granddaughter dressed in traditional folk costumes – this is an incomplete list of the main protagonists of Ukrainian folk tales created by the talented artist in the dry felting technique. With the help of these groups of animals and people made of natural wool Mrs. Paykina together with children puts on different fairy tales in her own center for children and their parents.
