Pysanky Egg Class

MORNING CLASS: Sunday, March 15 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

AFTERNOON CLASS: Sunday, March 15 from 1 – 3 p.m.

SCAHC Spring Street Gallery – 133 Spring Street | Newton, NJ 07860

Come celebrate spring at SCAHC with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition! Pysanky is an ancient folk art where you create beautiful designs on eggs layer by layer. Patterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax, which protects selected areas, and then dipped in colored dye. This process can be repeated with different colors to reveal an intricate pattern. In the final step, all the wax is melted away to reveal a beautiful design with vibrant colors!

This workshop covers some of the history and traditions surrounding pysanky, a demonstration, and independent practice session. For some, this meditative communal art experience is the start of a spring-time family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come.

Anyone can create an original pysanka- no prerequisite skills required. All materials are provided and sustainable sourced, including ethically sourced eggs and beeswax. In-person attendance will be extremely limited. Please bring a container or old egg carton to take home your creation. For ages 18+.

Please note: There are 2 Pysanky Egg Classes happening on the same day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Please pick the appropriate slot when you sign up.
