Learn and practice the ancient art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decorating with artist Božena Hrycyna. This workshop will take place within our Art Hive program.
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.
All materials will be provided. We will be working with candles, so long hair should be tied back. Registration is required.
