Join us for Intro to Pysanky Egg Writing with Sara Ricer
Pysanky is a unique egg-decorating style which originated within Slavic cultures dating back to the pre-Christian era. Literally meaning "to write," the pysanky process (similar to batik fabric dyeing) involves drawing lines of wax to mask layers of color on eggs, which can result in intricate detailed designs and patterns.
This class will be an introduction to pysanky, where participants will learn some basic techniques and create simple multi-color designs on the interesting canvas of an egg. No experience required.
There will be a $20 supply fee, for kistka (hot-wax pen), beeswax, and dye, payable to the instructor on the day of class.
What to bring:
- $20 supply fee
- Please bring some eggs/eggshells. (Chicken eggs from the grocery store are fine.) If your eggs have not been emptied, please make sure they are raw unboiled eggs.
- Wear clothing appropriate for working with wax and dye.
- Latex gloves if desired
Instructor Bio
Sara Ricer - I think art should be accessible to everyone. My number one wish is that every person finds some way to create for the sake of creating. When creating, I like to give my pieces a little bit of whimsy and imagination, while still being functional. I like the idea that art can be carried around in your pocket. I like the idea that no space is too small for a little bit of imagination.
