Our incredibly popular Pysanky Egg Painting workshops are back! Join us for a morning or afternoon of artistic exploration as our skilled instructor, Wendy Hallstrom, leads you through the historic and intricate process of creating beautiful eggs in the Ukrainian Easter tradition. Access to exploring the first floor of the Museum, including the exhibition, Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth & Renewal, and an interactive activity is included in the workshop admission fee. Both beginner (chicken egg) and advanced (goose egg) classes are available, so don’t wait to book your spot!
Advanced Goose Egg: Pysanky isn't just for chicken eggs - have some fun learning to write on a goose egg. A class design will be provided or bring your own. The materials fee includes one goose egg that has been emptied and cleaned, plus a large assortment of dye colors. This workshop is for those who are familiar with the pysanky process and is not suitable for those who have never dyed eggs in this fashion. Tips for dying goose eggs and creating larger designs will be taught. If you have a flexible tape measure (type used for sewing), please bring it.
