onsidered by many to be a "sacred magical art," the creation of a talisman with specific intentions written into the life-giving egg, the Pysanky is an ancient means to celebrate the cycles and events in nature and in life. Created using motifs rooted in nature and the cycles of life, designs are made with simple instruments (made of wood and copper) called kistkas, the humble materials of beeswax and candlelight, and intensely vibrant dyes.Create a beautiful egg in the time-honored Ukrainian tradition of Pysanky, or create a symbolic piece of art to invoke a new world vision. This workshop will explore the art in a free form, using symbolism that tells a specific story and holds a deliberate intention. Each participant will receive a Pysanky kit containing the basic tools and materials required for the class. Instructors Kerry Palumbo and Coreen Weilminster have been making Pysanky for over 30 years.
TERMS and CONDITIONS: This is an adult only class. Participants must bring an empty egg carton to transport their piece home safely. Because kits are being purchased for each participant, the cost of the kit ($18) can not be refunded if you cancel your registration. Cancellations made more than 7 or more days before the course will receive a refund, minus 5% processing fee. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made the week of the course date.
