EMBROIDERY OF EASTERN PODILLYA

This publication is the result of Yevhen and Tetiana Prychepiys' many years of research and enthusiasm. For five years, they traveled around Ukrainian villages amassing a collection of embroidery from the Vinnytsia Subdnistria region. Yevhen Prychepiy, PhD, did the comparative research on the symbolism of embroidered ornaments, their structure, and the typical signs found in Eastern Podillian embroidery. It is this research and the Prychepiy's unique collection that are presented in Embroidery of Eastern Podillia. Illia Pavlov and Maria Norazian designed the book. The Prychepiys' collection, which they gathered from 2001 to 2008, has been on display at the Ivan Honchar Museum since 2014, when the couple donated it on the occasion of Yevhen's 75th birthday.
