Pysanky is a traditional art of Ukraine. Egg decoration in Ukraine is widespread and practiced by many. The pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, писанки (pl.)) itself, a wax-resist type egg, is one of Ukraine's national symbols, and is known throughout the world. Originating as a pagan tradition, decorated eggs were absorbed by Christianity to become the traditional Easter Egg.
While Pysanky eggs are traditionally associated with Easter, we couldn't help but think how lovely they would be on a Christmas Tree. So we are repeating the class that was held here before Easter.
This workshop is not meant for young children as it involves the use of open candle flames and hot wax. You must be at least 16 years old to participate without a parent. Children 12 to 15 may participate if accompanied by a parent. Class is limited to 9 participants. All materials are provided. Cost per person is $35. Registration details coming soon.
If you enjoy the class and want to try again at home, Southeast Mercantile will have tools and supplies for sale in our shop.
