Mid-Maine Regional Adult Community Education

The Pysanka, a decorated egg, was common among Slavic people as far back as 5,000 BC and was an important spring ritual. When decorating eggs in the Ukrainian style, designs are drawn on the egg with melted beeswax, which flows from a tool called a Kystka. The eggs are then dipped in a series of dyes and the final pattern is revealed when the wax is removed. Please bring reading glasses, if you use them. The instructor would like to encourage young people in this art form. Ages 8 to 16 are welcome to register with their participating parent or guardian.
