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.
