Pysansky—The Art of Ukrainian Easter Egg Dying

March 18, 2023 @ 6:00 am - 9:00 am

$20.00

**Please note change of date! This workshop has moved to Saturday, March 18th!**

Ever wonder how those beautiful Ukrainian Eggs, called Pysanky, are made? Come find out in an afternoon over tea and musing with friends (old and new) how this batiking style of egg dyeing is done. All supplies provided, and yours to take home. Ukrainians have carried this traditional egg decorating form, and exchanging with loved ones, from Pagan times to modern day with geometric symbols designed to deliver well wishes to the receiver.

Roxanne Bash has been making Pysanky since the age of 17. Although she is not Ukrainian, she learned this traditional artform from a friend whose family immigrated from the Ukraine many years ago. The family impressed on her that they were sharing this tradition with others in the hopes of keeping it alive. This class is Roxanne’s way of helping accomplish that goal.

Workshop fee covers the cost of supplies, and in lieu of collecting a fee for her time, Roxanne invites participants to make a donation to support Ukrainian war relief and refugee efforts. Feel free to make a donation to the organization of your choice, or bring a cash donation to the event and we will make a plan for a group donation.

Coffee, tea and light snacks will be provided.
