Iwona Barecka specializes in ritual and decorative art.<\/p>\n

She inherited the tradition of decorating Easter eggs from her mother. While Iwona\u2019s great-grandmother used to make \u201epaj\u0105ki\u201d (traditional straw mobiles), she didn\u2019t receive the knowledge and skills for this craft through family transmission. Instead, she acquired the experience on her own. Today, she creates \u201epaj\u0105ki\u201d together with her daughter, Joanna Barecka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ms. Barecka recalls the following:
\n\u201eAt home \u2013 looking back to my mother and grandmother \u2013 we made many things. We mostly did embroidery, sewing, knitting, and crochet. Before the holidays, my family decorated eggs using real beeswax \u2013 since my great-grandfather kept an apiary. Though by the time I was a child, we mostly used melted candle wax.<\/em><\/p>\n

An interesting fact I discovered recently is that the drop-pull technique for decorating eggs, which my mother taught me, was not actually the method used in her own childhood home. Back then, they used a metal pen nib, but she didn’t particularly care for it; she learned to decorate using a pin instead and passed that second technique on to me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I did not learn how to make \u201epaj\u0105ki\u201d at home. However, alongside egg decorating, I learned to make Christmas tree ornaments \u2013 mostly out of tissue paper. These included baubles, paper stars, and other decorations<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Today, when creating \u201epaj\u0105ki\u201d, Iwona Barecka uses straw from her family\u2019s crops; for her Easter eggs, she uses eggs from her own hens; and she obtains beeswax from a neighbor who is a beekeeper.<\/p>\n

Ms. Barecka is a member of the Association of Folk Artists and the Folk Artists\u2019 Club in Pu\u0142awy. She is a three-time winner of the International Competition for Ritual Art in Rudniki.<\/p>\n

Art of making paj\u0105ki from straw, paper and tissue paper in the Lublin region inscribed on Poland\u2019s National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n
