Create Beautiful Ukrainian Easter Eggs in this three hour Pysanky workshop, use traditional Ukrainian folk designs, dyes, and a wax-resist method to create beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, “to write”, as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax. You’ll learn how to use the wax stylus to draw traditional or contemporary designs on eggs, and use the strong dyes to color eggs just in time for Easter celebrations. This workshop will put the fun back in Easter egg decorating! People can’t wait until springtime to sign up for this popular workshop.This class is for beginner teens and adults.

This 3 hour workshop will cover the basics of designing and executing a 2 color batik sample on fabric. This involves tracing a design on fabric, drawing with hot wax, painting with dyes and tub dying. Students will complete one 12 x 12 inch or larger sample, which will be the perfect sizes to display in a frame or on a dowel. If you are an artist and want to bring your own drawings that is encouraged. If not, no worries we will have some easy designs on hand that can be customized to your liking.

For an added charge you can also complete a throw pillow cover to gift or keep for yourself.
