Crack open the traditional artform of Pysanky – creating Ukrainian Easter eggs with beeswax and dye. A ritualized Slavic practice, the origins of Pysanky predates Christianity and has various folklore origin stories.

Generously hosted by educator and museum donor, Ann Marie Stasiuk, all materials are provided and each participant will take home a decorated egg or two. This is a museum fundraiser.
