Come celebrate the spring with this unique opportunity to learn traditional Ukrainian craft.
About this Event

Come celebrate the spring at White River Craft Center with this unique opportunity to learn a skill that is traditionally passed down by the Matriarch of the family to their children in Ukraine.


Pysanky, also known as Ukrainian eggs, is a folk tradition that is both art and prayer.  Patterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. By repeating this process with different colors of dye, a multi-colored pattern is built up. Finally, the wax is removed to reveal the colors that were covered up at each stage.


The finished product, with its intricate designs and symbols, does not suggest the meditative process involved. A great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax is taken off.


All skill levels and ages can create an original pysanka.  This workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding Pysanky, how to make your own egg, and an independent practice session. This spring time tradition can be passed on and enjoyed for years to
