About this Event

An old Ukrainian myth says Evil is kept at bay by pysanky: the more made each year, his chains tighten. Fewer…they loosen. Help the good fight by learning how to write your own pysanka with designs practiced for thousands of years to bring Spring. Age 12 and up, each child under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. All materials provided; wear long hair back since you will be working over a lit candle.
