Learn the colorful and venerable craft of decorating eggs in the Ukrainian style, known as pysanky at a workshop led by expert egg decorator Susan Clark. This ancient craft uses symbols and motifs to create a jewel-like egg. 

Intricate designs can be created with geometric forms, or with more naturalistic, flowing patterns. Participants will be using a kistka, a pointed implement a bit like a pen, filled with beeswax and heated, to draw designs on the eggs between bathing them in colored dye. Decorate eggs in a traditional design, or create your own.

Workshop limited to 20 participants.
