4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Artist Jenny Santa Maria demonstrates how to create pysanky, eggs decorated using the centuries-old Ukrainian method using beeswax and richly layered dyes. Registration required; space is limited. Participants will watch the artist as she transforms simple eggs into stunning works of art and learn about the Neolitic origins of pysanky, the traditions of creating and sharing these eggs and the symbolic language woven into every line and motif. Each design tells a story and each finished egg is a small masterpiece.
