With Easter approaching, we thought it would be wonderful idea to offer a free Pysanka class. Pysanky (or pysanka in the singular form) is rooted in the Ukrainian verb “to write.” In this case, that refers to the pretty patterns you would scrawl across the eggs. Ukrainian Easter eggs often feature intricate designs and symbols, such as flowers, animals, and geometric shapes, each with its own significance. The process involves applying melted wax to the eggshell in a design, then dipping it into different colored dyes, layer by layer. Once the final layer of dye is applied, the wax is melted off to reveal the intricate design underneath. Making pysanky eggs is a labor of love that requires patience, attention to detail, and a steady hand. It’s a beautiful and rewarding craft that all ages can enjoy.

All materials will be provided; just bring your imagination and enthusiasm. At the end of this free class, you’ll leave with a beautifully decorated egg.
