Come celebrate Spring at the White River Craft Center with this unique opportunity to learn Pysanky: the ancient art of creating beautiful designs on eggs! Patterns are drawn with hot beeswax, which protects selected areas so new colors can be applied. By repeating this process with different colors of dye, a multi-colored pattern is built up. In the final step, the wax is melted away in a moment of anticipation, revealing the complete design and its vibrant, hidden colors in a rewarding and often surprising reveal!
This workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding Pysanky, demonstration, and an independent practice session. All materials are included and sustainably sourced, including eggs from the instructor’s free-range hens and beeswax from her hives.
This meditative and communal experience is unlike any other art process, and for many this workshop marks the beginning of a family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come. Open to all! No prior experience required.
Sunday, April 12th from 10am to 12:30pm
Cost: $45 ($35 registration and $10 materials fee payable to the instructor on the first day of class)
