Learn the ancient art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decorating-- a sacred and meditative practice. Pysanky, as these eggs are known in Ukrainian, are made using the wax-resist "batik" method, in which designs are drawn or written onto the egg with beeswax, and then submerged in a series of dye baths. Pysanky are often very intricate and include layers of meaning, imbued with symbols of protection and goodwill.

Length: 1.5 hours

*all participants, including accompanied adults, must register 

All materials will be provided (eggs, stylus, dyes, wax). Additional materials and kits will be available to purchase on the day of the workshop at the POP-UP Spring Market organized by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch.

Ihor and his friend Sebastian cycled 1,500 km along the entire front line in Ukraine, through liberated villages and towns, with the aim of raising funds for Ukrainian aid projects.
