Painting Pysanky Eggs
About
Try your hand at this Easter tradition and make your own Pysanky egg. Practiced in many Orthodox Eastern European communities, the eggs are given as a symbolic gift of new life. Students will first be introduced to traditional motifs and patterns and the symbolism behind them. These patterns include geometric, and floral/vegetal forms. During this workshop you will then learn to decorate the eggs with geometric patterns using a wax-resist method and colour the eggs with layers of dye.
