Ukrainian-Style Egg Decorating for Christmas

Ukrainian eggs, or pysanky, are created using a wax batik method. This three-hour Duluth Folk School class examines traditional design elements, what the colors symbolize, and some of the stories associated with the eggs. During the class, participants will learn to use a kistka (tiny funnel on a stick) to draw with melted wax on egg shells. Once they’ve drawn the initial design, they will dye the egg in a light color, add more wax, and dye again in the next color. Once all the dyeing is complete, they melt off the wax to reveal their colorful design.
