Ukrainian Pysanky (Easter Egg) Workshop

Learn about Pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) and make your own at this workshop!

During this workshop you will learn to make Ukrainian Pysanky.  Pysanky (Pih-san-kih) are a Ukrainian Easter Egg tradition passed down through generations. The word Pysanka in Ukrainian is derived from “pysaty”, which means “to write”. A batik wax-resist method is used to draw an intricate design of your choice on the egg. These designs are “written” with beeswax by heating the stylus, called kistka, in a candle flame until the wax melts, and then a design is drawn on the egg. The dye application is done by submerging the egg from the lightest to the darkest colors.  A new layer of wax can be applied between each color application to preserve the latest color. The wax is then melted off to reveal a unique design!

This a great activity to get together with your family, spend time with your kids, or have a date night with your loved one.  All materials will be provided during the workshop.

Cost – $15. Registration is required.
