Pysanka Workshop: Ukrainian ethnic tradition of egg coloring.

Follow the history behind the Ukrainian tradition of decorating pysanky and learn to make beautiful traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs/pysanky with acclaimed artist Sofika Zielyk!

Sofika Zielyk is an extremely accomplished creator of pysanky, eggs with ornately batiked shells that are a form of Ukrainian folk art that has been practiced (traditionally only by women) for centuries. Though primarily associated with Easter now, pysanky have many older pagan uses as tokens of good fortune, regeneration, and protection.

During the workshop, Sofika will teach you how to use the pysanka art tools (kistka, wax, dyes) and will help you make your personalized pysanka. Pattern meanings, fun historical facts about pysanka art, and experiences that have emerged around Ukrainian Easter eggs will be shared during the workshops — fun time guaranteed!
