Discover the timeless art of Ukrainian egg decorating at our Pysanky Workshop, hosted in the historic setting of The Shore Line Trolley Museum!
Pysanky, the traditional craft of decorating eggs with intricate wax-resist patterns, is a celebration of heritage, creativity, and storytelling. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the history and symbolism of pysanky, as well as techniques to craft their own beautiful, keepsake eggs.
Suitable for ages 10 and up, and led by an experienced instructor, the session is designed for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills.
Bring 2 clean, uncooked eggs and be sure to wear old clothes! All other materials will be provided, dyes, kistka (stylus), and beeswax. Enjoy a fun, creative afternoon while surrounded by the unique charm of the trolley museum’s historic trolleys and exhibits!
Whether you're new to pysanky or a seasoned artist, this workshop is a wonderful way to celebrate tradition and creativity while connecting with the museum's rich history. We can’t wait to see you there!
