Learn the ancient art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decorating-- a sacred and meditative practice. Pysanky, as these eggs are known in Ukrainian, are made using the wax-resist "batik" method, in which designs are drawn or written onto the egg with beeswax, and then submerged in a series of dyebaths. Pysanky are often very intricate and include layers of meaning, imbued with symbols of protection and goodwill.
Oksana Hawrylak and Ukrainian Arts TO will guide you through all the steps of transforming a plain egg into a work of art.
Ages: 6+ (participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult*)
Length: 1.5 hours
*all participants, including accompanied adults, must register
Presented by St. Volodymyr Institute and Ukrainian Arts T.O
All materials will be provided (eggs, stylus, dyes, wax). Additional materials and kits will be available to purchase on the day of the workshop at the POP-UP Spring Market organized by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch.
***Through our fundraiser we are aiming to support a Ukrainian filmmaker who is currently fulfilling media functions on the front lines and filming the brave heroes defending Ukraine. His equipment broke and we are aiming to raise funds that will enable his work.
