At the beginning of the twentieth century, in search of a national style, the Ukrainian creative intelligentsia focused on the study of history, the preservation and promotion of national culture. Folk art in this process was one of the main links. In 1900 - 1910, a whole network of handicraft centers was formed, on the basis of which educational and demonstration workshops were organized, in which professional artists and folk craftsmen collaborated. The first not only led the artistic processes of the cells, but also improved the professional arsenal of the second with new ideas and encouraged them to identify artistic personalities.
