Explore the art, symbolism, and joy in creating pysanky with Basia Andrusko. Students learn the age-old method of applying hot beeswax to an emptied chicken egg using a stylus, over a succession of dye baths. When the pattern is completed, the wax is removed over a candle flame, revealing the colors and pattern. This pysanka, or Ukrainian Easter egg, can then be displayed on a stand or hung as an ornament. Register. $65 includes materials to complete 1-2 eggs.
