Free virtual event
Learn the ancient art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decorating – a sacred and meditative practice. Pysanky, as these eggs are known in Ukrainian, are made using the wax-resist "batik" method, in which designs are drawn or written onto the egg with beeswax, and then submerged in a series of dyebaths. Pysanky are often very intricate and include layers of meaning, imbued with symbols of protection and goodwill.
In collaboration with Folk Camp and led by Božena Hrycyna, teacher, artist, and community organizer. Božena will guide you through all the steps of transforming a plain egg into a work of art.
Beginners welcome.
