Ukrainian Egg Workshop

Help Ukraine while honoring their beautiful Easter tradition.

Arts Escape is honored to work with Father Paul Luniw to offer another Ukrainian egg-making workshop. A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter Egg that is decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using wax and dyes. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, “to write” or as the designs are inscribed with beeswax. Father Paul will give a brief lecture about the history of Ukrainian egg making and then will demonstrate the methods used to make the creation.

Father Paul will have Pysanky eggs to sell after the workshop with the proceeds going toward Ukranian relief efforts. Father Paul has been sending help to Ukraine through his church, St. Michael Ukranian Church in Terryville, CT. We will be collecting cash/check donations for that effort.
