The Pysanka workshop is returning to Green Street just in time for Easter!
For the past two years we have had a full house for our Pysanka egg decorating workshop with Wesleyan Dance Department Chair, Katja Kolcio. Katja and her husband have been using the technique for many years and offered to share their skills with us.
The design is created using wax and you have to think about your color pattern in reverse. The wax creates a barrier where the dye won’t stick. So wherever you put wax first on the egg will remain white. Then you pick your first color, say yellow. After you dye the egg yellow, you add the next level of wax and all those spots will stay yellow. At the end, you carefully melt off all the wax and blow out the contents of the egg. The traditional technique produces beautiful geometric patterns.
