Ukrainian Style Easter Eggs

Evan from Torbay - Long Bay

Experienced 'writer' of 'pysanky' (Ukrainian Easter Eggs) open to offering classes if sufficient interest. Pysanky are richly decorated using dyes and wax resist to apply traditional designs to real eggs.

Writing pysanky is a great winter craft. I can provide everything needed to learn the basics and together we can build up a store of beautiful Easter Eggs for next year.

Would suggest classes of up to 6 people, ages 16 to 100 years.
Venue or costs - to be decided based on response.

Get back to me if interested in learning this curiously satisfying and ancient craft !
