Pysanky Ukrainian Egg Decorating Class
Afternoon class. $50 per person + $10 material fee due in cash at time of class Recommended for 18+
Come celebrate the spring with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition that is traditionally passed down by the Matriarch of the family. Pysanky is an ancient art of creating beautiful designs on eggs. Patterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax, which protects selected areas so new colors can be applied, allowing the design to be built up layer by layer. By repeating this process with different colors of dye, a multi-colored pattern is built up. In the final step, the wax is melted away in a moment of anticipation, revealing the complete design and its vibrant, hidden colors in a rewarding and often surprising reveal.
