Pysanka, which means “to write,” is a traditional Ukrainian folk-art form that uses a wax-resist method of dyeing eggs. In this workshop, students will learn about the symbolism of traditional pysanky eggs, and create their own patterns. Students will use styluses to melt beeswax and draw designs on hollow goose eggs, then dip the eggs into a wide range of dyes to create endless patterns. At the end of the project, the wax will be melted away to reveal the designs!
