Ukrainian eggs or 'Pysanky' are decorated using beeswax and dyes that are applied in layers. Participants will learn techniques, designs, and historical significance of this process and go home with a beautiful egg. No experience is necessary and ages 12 through adult are welcome to register. Participants will be provided with eggs and decorating materials. Please bring an apron or old shirt and an egg carton to bring your egg home in.
From Jennifer Santa Maria,
I have taught Ukrainian egg decorating and techniques in a variety of settings to a wide audience, from children to seniors. I have instructed several groups and held demonstrations at the Belmar Arts Council, Thompson Park's Creative Arts Center, Fort Monmouth Rec Center, Colorest Art Supply, several Ocean County Libraries, Oakwood High School, Cowerks in Asbury Park, a teacher's retreat in Hampton, New Hampshire and at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in Wappingers Falls, NY.
