Pysanky - Ukrainian Egg Decorating

This is the perfect time to learn the art of pysanky, Ukrainian egg decorating!  Come be cozy at ArtWaves -- the table is set with candles,  local eggs,  kistkas, vibrantly colored dyes and the honeyed scent of  warm beeswax.  

The step by step instructions will introduce you to color mixing and pattern ideas, a good start to your meditative waxing adventure! 

Gather with family or friends to batik -- dipping in dyes and applying warm wax over the areas you want to keep, to make colorful, elaborate designs.

Try out the electric version of a kistka (batik tool), or combine techniques. Follow traditional patterns, or create your own designs!

Fun for both kids and adults, although younger kids will need adult supervision.

Perfect for a custom workshop - contact office@artwavesmdi.org to schedule a gathering of friends, colleagues, or family at a time convenient for you!
