Pysanky is a traditional craft in Ukraine, with a history of thousands of years. The method is like batik--patterns are drawn on the egg with wax, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. Artists from St. Peter & St. Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church will be here to teach you. The cost is $25 per person to be paid the day of the class. (The price has gone up due to the rising cost of supplies.  South Park Library will cover $5.00 per person). All supplies will be provided. 

We will be up in the Community Center.  However, space is limited.
