The book Contemporary Ukrainian Crafts is absolutely outstanding. First of all, it is a story about unique and distinctive traditional crafts with millennia-old traditions; about talented Ukrainians, true enthusiasts who are now researching, studying, and interpreting these crafts to create new, modern meanings, thereby programming a contemporary Ukrainian code. At the same time, this publication is also a chronicle of our time, telling the stories of our compatriots’ lives – about the search for their purpose and favorite business, and how they find themselves in arts and craft, creating beauty with their own hands that brings joy to people. This shows the genetic diligence of Ukrainians, their tendency to create with their own hands, and the attraction to crafts passed down from generation to generation.
