Join us in the ritual of making &nbsp;Traditional Ukrainian pysanky.No prior skills are needed. All materials will be provided. Ages 9+ Pysanky is the Ukrainian word for decorated eggs made using the wax-resist &quot;batik&quot; method, in which designs are drawn or written onto the egg with beeswax (&ldquo;pysaty&rdquo; means &ldquo;to write&rdquo;), and then submerged in a series of dye baths. Beautiful and intricate, they are widely recognized and extremely popular, but their origins and traditional purpose are often overlooked. Pysanky are talismans imbued with symbols of protection and goodwill, and making them is a ritual act, a meditation. In our age of materialism, pysanky have become art objects and in the interest of convenience and speed, they are made using mass-produced dyes and tools. However, before aniline dyes became widely available, dyes were mostly made from natural materials readily available. Sourcing and creating natural dyes, as well as co-creating with nature, are integral to the ritual.
