A Pysanky workshop on a beloved Ukrainian tradition—decorating eggs with ancient, often colorful designs steeped in symbolism.
About this Event

Join Artist Lesia Sochor, a painter who practices the ancient ritual of transforming an ordinary egg into a ‘Pysanky’ by decorating it with colorful designs steeped in symbolism. The word pysanky, translates as to write or inscribe, describes a beloved tradition in Ukraine during Easter holidays that dates back to 5,000 BC. The eggs are made by melting beeswax with a candle then using a tool called a kystka to draw intricate designs with the wax. Once the wax dries, the eggs are dipped into a series of dyes, and the final pattern is revealed when the hardened wax is removed. We hope you will join Lesia and others at this fun community gathering—a time for art-making, conversation and meeting new friends.

Please note that anyone under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
