Pysanka egg decorating workshop at Green Street

Last year we had a full house for our

Pysanka egg decorating workshop with Wesleyan Dance Department Chair,

Katja Kolcio.  Katja and her husband have been using the technique for

many years and offered to share their skills with us.



The design is created using wax and you have

to think about your color pattern in reverse. The wax creates a barrier

where the dye won’t stick. So wherever you put wax first on the egg

will remain white. Then you pick your first color, say yellow. After you

dye the egg yellow, you add the next level of wax and all those spots

will stay yellow.  At the end, you carefully melt off all the wax and

blow out the contents of the egg.  The traditional technique produces

beautiful geometric patterns.

Fee: $10.00 per person.
