Description:

Pisanki are a tradition of decorating beautiful eggs that date back to the 10th century in Slavic regions in Europe. They have different motifs and colors on the eggs which have deep, symbolic meaning.

In this class, we will learn the process of how to create pisanki, the symbolism and meaning behind them, as well as learn how to draw on the eggs with melted beeswax and then dip the eggs into dyes to create the final pisanka.

The first half of the class Teah Major will be showing the step-by-step process of how to create a specific design on a pisanka, which the whole class will take part in. The second half of the class, everyone will get to pick their own design and create their own, unique pisanka.
