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.

Folk Camp instructors will guide you through all the steps of transforming a plain egg into a work of art.
Beginners welcome.

All materials will be provided (eggs, stylus, dyes, wax…)
Additional materials and kits will be on sale to take home.

Learn how to make Travlenky with Cassandra Wysochanskyj (aka Pani Pysanka). The name travlenka (травленка) comes from the Ukrainian word for “etching”: travlenya (травлення). Travlenky are created by applying wax designs on eggs and then etching away the unwaxed areas using an acid solution, most commonly vinegar. This practice produces beautiful delicate effects and has gained popularity in recent years.
