Learn to make Ukrainian eggs in this 2-hour, beginner-to-intermediate workshop taught by Northern Virginia based Pysanka Artist and Instructor Stephanie Malm, aka Pysanky Steph.

Pysanky (PIH-san-kih) are the vibrant and traditional folk art of Ukrainian style eggs. Pysanky are made with a wax-resist (batik) method. They are written with beeswax by heating the stylus, called a kistka, in a candle flame until the wax melts, and then a design is written on the egg. The egg is fully submerged in dye from lightest color to darkest color, with more wax being applied at each step until finally the last dye bath is the background. The wax is then melted off to reveal your design!

Learn some history and symbolism and take home a Ukrainian style egg that you made yourself!

This workshop will use candles, beeswax, chicken eggs, and permanent dyes. All supplies and tools will be provided.
