Class Information

Come celebrate the arrival of spring with Mary Hancock! In this workshop, students will learn the ancient art of decorating eggs with traditional Eastern Eurpoean symbols. Rather than painting the eggs, students will create works of art using the pysanky method. Pysanky comes from a word meaning "to write." Students will create their designs by etching in wax covering the egg.
