Embroidered Clothing and Household Goods, and Bead Jewelry



Nataliya began learning embroidery at age eight, and has continued to create traditional embroidered clothing and beading throughout her life.

Using traditional techniques such as reverse fabric “tweed” effect embroidery, cross stitch, and white-on-white embroidery to feature the geometric designs of the Pokuttya region, Nataliya creates the traditional clothing and household decorations that are connected with a number of beliefs and myths, including beliefs regarding protection.

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, a non-profit organization, produces the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
