The workshop was led by experienced patchwork teacher and quilter Anna Sławińska, with necessary materials delivered by the museum to registered participants.
Admission to these educational events was free of charge. Registration was required via email to [email protected], as the number of available places was limited. The events were supported by the Ministry of Culture, National Heritage and Sport of Poland.
