Hearts & Pysanky: Contemporary Wax Batik Egg Art

Celebrate the season of love with a creative twist on the centuries-old art of Pysanky. In this special Valentine's-themed workshop, you'll use traditional wax batik techniques along with contemporary design ideas to create beautiful eggs inspired by hearts, flowers, friendship, love, and winter romance.
We'll explore both classic and modern wax and dye techniques while creating designs that range from elegant and sophisticated to whimsical and playful. Choose from a variety of Valentine's-inspired motifs, color palettes, and decorative patterns as you build your design layer by layer in wax and vibrant dyes.
Your finished eggs can be displayed on stands, arranged in decorative bowls, incorporated into seasonal centerpieces, or transformed into one-of-a-kind ornaments and keepsakes. We'll also discuss simple embellishment ideas, including beaded hangers and decorative display options.
This workshop offers a fun and meaningful way to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary creativity. All tools and materials are provided for use during class. You'll leave with finished Valentine-themed Pysanky and the skills to continue exploring this beautiful art form. MI Craft House carries a full line a Pysanky writing tools, dyes and other supplies for purchase in our shop if you would like to continue writing Pysanky at home.
