Please join us as we welcome Carol Purse who will share the history behind the making of pysanky (Ukrainian Easter Eggs), how dyes were created from natural items as opposed to the dyes of today, the meaning of pagan and Christian symbols that appear on the eggs, and some of the superstitions and legends surrounding pysanky. Attendees will be able to write a few lines on raw eggs to get a feel for how wax is applied in the creation of these eggs. Registration is required as space is limited.
