About this Event
The origins of Pysanky are sometimes hard to pin down, with different stories pertaining to the year it began. Intricate patterns of symbols come together to create meaning on these storied treasures. In Ukraine, one can read what area an egg comes from simply glancing at the symbols embedded in the design.
During this, the first day of the Easter holiday, we invite you to story, design and dye your own Pysanky eggs. With kistkas, beeswax, delicate blown eggs and flame, we will embark on a multi-step wax resist and dyeing journey to “write” our own one-of-a-kind egg treasures.
This class is designed in the spirit of family togetherness - if you have the day off work, you are welcome to attend with your child at no extra charge. We’ll take breaks to share stories and draw inspiration from traditional designs. Don’t miss this opportunity to try a time-honoured art without the expense of procuring all the materials!
