Wilton Historical Society Hosts Ukrainian Egg Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids

Wilton Historical Society Hosts Ukrainian Egg Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids on Sunday, April 7, 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). Expert egg decorator Susan Clark will lead the workshop for adults and children.  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.

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