Christmas Pysanky Egg Workshop

Description

Join us for a Christmas themed Pysanky egg workshop! In this hands-on workshop, you can learn to make your very own pysanky egg with a Christmas twist, under the guidance of renowned folk artist Georgine Postupak-Borchick.

A pysanky egg is a Ukrainian Easter Egg that is decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty , "to write" or "to inscribe ", as the designs are not painted on, but written (inscribed) with beeswax. Many other Central and Eastern European ethnic groups decorate eggs using wax resist for Easter.

Registration required, please visit the events page at schuylkillhistory.org or call 570-622-7540. Registration ends November 10th.
