Please join us in learning how to make Pysanky (Ukrainian style decorated eggs), in an effort to raise money for Ukraine. We will learn about the design motifs and their specific symbolism, learn the steps and techniques of making traditional Pysanky. - designing, using candlelight, applying wax with a stylo, dyeing, and batiking. You will make your own Pysanky to take home!

It is said that the Hutzuls–Ukrainians who live in the Carpathian Mountains of Western Ukraine–believe that the fate of the world depends upon the pysanka.

“As long as the egg decorating custom continues, the world will exist. If, for any reason, this custom is abandoned, evil will overrun the world. If the number of pysanky created each year is low the chains of evil are loosened and evil is free to wander the earth causing havoc and destruction. If, on the other hand, the number of pysanky has increased, the chains of evil are tightened and good triumphs over evil for yet another year.

We hope that this collective effort to foster and share our cultural traditions and raise funds for the ongoing humanitarian efforts will help to bring peace back to Ukraine and her people.
