Pisanki are colored, decorated eggs and a tradition native to Poland and other East and Central European countries. The word pisanki comes from the Polish verb pisac, which means "to write". This class will use a technique that involves a metal funnel at the end of a stick, called a kistka, to create designs with warm wax.
