The purpose of the articleis to consider the main areas of activity of modern individual and group art textile workshops on the territory of Ukraine. The task of the work is to determine the fundamental principles of their development and the problems of the implementation and functioning of creative workshops in the field of artistic textiles. Theoretical, general philosophical, comparative, analytical-descriptive, comparative-typological, search-comparative methods were used. As a result of the work on the basis of the analysis of previous publications in the field of textile creative workshops a the history of development, decay and revival of textile activity on the territory of Ukraine from the end of the 20th century to the present time has been studied. A comparative description of the principles of the activity of design studios, creative studios and creative workshops is offered, the distinction between these concepts was made and the key differences were singled out. The creative activity, the thematic and technical characteristics of artistic works, principles and ideas of functioning, promotion, and popularization of some of the largest modern textile workshops, associations of masters and textile brands are considered. Their common and distinctive features are described line of their products and products of individual design including purely artistic objects, things of small-scale production and of commercial direction, representing workshops in the artistic and consumer markets. The scientific work describes the creative work and principles of product distibution on examples master’s activity of the creative workshops “Fira” and “Tekstylni vizii” (Textile Visions) as relatively small associations of artists, general principles of their work, ways and methods of cooperation. The “Maisternia teplykh podarunkiv” (Workshop of warm gifts) is presented, as an example of a group workshop on the basis of which the main postulates of the association of artists of the same direction, the motives and the concept of the creation of small-scale addressless products are shown. Another example of a group workshop is the “Loskutnyi tekstyl” (Patchwork Textile) workshop, but it is based not on the principles of related work, but on the joint promotion and sale of products, where the association does not affect the formation of the art object, but helps in its distribution. Special attention is paid to family workshops, where several generations of masters often work together, as well as different options and directions for the development of such workshops are also considered. As an example of a family studio which passed, the “Palitra tepla” (Palette of warth) studio has been taken to the category of social and organizational project. The individual creative work first united the textile artist and her husband in their common creative activity and later encouraged them to continue organizational activities and hold artistic events, master classes, shows and so on, with the participation of masters of various directions. As a variant of a successful rebirth of a family creative workshop in to a full-fledged all-Ukrainian brand you can consider the family workshop “TELIZHENKO”. A striking example of the classic version of the family artistic workshop is the “Kondratiuk” workshop, for whom the artistic value is of primary importance and the commercial component remains a side effect. “Kondratiuk” is, moreover, a family studio where the family couple embody artistic ideas and work on request, creating tapestries or sculptures for a specific project, interior needs or customer’s wishes. Also, the article mentions the activity of Olga Piligina’s individual workshop, where the craftswoman presents her own works, takes orders, conducts exhibitions and educational activities. The creative and teaching activities of the workshop of Maria Furdi are focused on folk tradition and machine-weaving. The article also deals with the important educational work of the Association “Tkatstvo Ukrainy” (Weaving of Ukraine) under the leadership of Daryna Aleksieienko, who groups around herself both professional masters and beginners. The article deals with projects, exhibitions, fairs and other educational, promotional, artistic events in which workshops take part and organize, methods of advertising and advanced areas of work. The principles and methods of work of associations of masters and various unions are described, the general principles of the implementation business idea of such creative groups are shown.
