This workshop is a unique opportunity to explore two distinct methods of Pysanky artistry: the Traditional wax-resist method and the Drop-Pull technique. Participants will begin by learning the Traditional method, using a "kistka," beeswax, and vibrant dyes to create traditional designs. Then, you will explore the Drop-Pull method (Lemko-style), where molten wax is applied using a pin-head and pulled to form elegant patterns. This class is perfect for beginners and seasoned Pysanky enthusiasts alike. By the end of the class, you willhave two finished pysanky and a profound connection to this cherished art form.
Alona is Ukrainian and Pysankarstvo (the art of making pysanky) came into her life as a hobby that turned into her absolute love. For almost a decade she has been creating pysanky on a weekly basis and in 2022 started to offer masterclasses. Alona would love to share her knowledge with you and introduce you to this centuries-old Ukrainian tradition.
