Pysanky Easter Egg Decorating Workshop
Community Event
Event Description
Join us for a vibrant celebration of Ukrainian culture at our annual Pysanky Easter Egg Decorating Workshop, presented by the Ukrainian Arts T.O team. Discover or rediscover the beautiful art and tradition of making pysanky, and experience the joy of creating your very own Ukrainian Easter egg masterpiece!
Pysanky, decorated using beeswax and dyes, date back to ancient times and symbolize the rebirth of the earth in spring. In Ukraine, each region embeds its unique customs and symbols in the design of the eggs, making Easter egg decorating an important art form.
