Ukrainian Egg Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids on Saturday in Wilton

Ukrainian Egg (Pysanky) Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids this Saturday, March 24, from 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Learn the colorful and venerable craft of decorating eggs in the Ukrainian style, known as pysanky (their name is derived from the Ukrainian verb meaning to write), at a workshop led by expert egg decorator Susan Clark. This ancient craft uses symbols and motifs to create a jewel-like egg. Intricate designs can be created with geometric forms, or with more naturalistic, flowing patterns. Participants will be using a kistka, a pointed implement a bit like a pen, filled with beeswax and heated, to draw designs on the eggs between bathing them in colored dye. Decorate eggs in a traditional design, or create your own.

Workshop limited to 20 participants. For adults and children ages 9 and up. Children ages 6-8 must be accompanied by an adult. Wilton Historical Society Members $20; Non-members $25. Registration required: info@wiltonhistorical.org or call 203-762-7257.
