Have you ever wondered how they make those beautiful Ukrainian Easter Eggs? Here’s your opportunity to learn the traditional art form called Pysanky. Using traditional wax resist technique, followed by a sequence of colored dyes you will create intricate patterns. Each student will create their own Pysanky inspired gourds in time for Easter.

In this 4 hour workshop you will decorate two gourds. In the first TeriLu will walk everyone through the process, introducing the tools, and techniques. Wax and dyes will be applied in a predetermined sequence for a beautiful result. Once the class project is completed, students will have a second gourd onto which they can create their own beautiful Pysanky design. Design references will be provided.

All materials included.
Snacks will be provided.
Dyeing anything is a very messy process. Dress accordingly.
Appropriate for adults.
