6:00 pm - 8:00 pm: Pysanky Eggs: Ukrainian Easter Eggs

Made using real (raw!) eggs, beeswax, and dye, Ukrainian Easter Eggs are a unique art form that has been passed down for generations. You will learn how to use a kistka to create wax patterns on your egg, apply layers of dye, and then melt it all to reveal your colorful final product. No experience needed, we'll provide everything you need to create beautiful Pysanky (which means "to write" in Ukrainian).

Please bring a small container to transport egg from the studio. Wear clothes that can get dye/wax on them!

Ages: 10 years and up (7-10 years only if accompanied by adult. Separate tickets must be purchased)

Cost: $35.00
