A one day workshop producing beautifully painted Easter Eggs using traditional techniques.
This Lent, discover the beauty and symbolism of traditional Ukrainian Pysanky in a one-day workshop led by icon painter Hanna Ward. Learn the centuries-old wax-resist (batik) technique used to create vibrant, intricate Easter eggs—symbols of new life and, for Christians, the Resurrection.
Using a heated stylus and coloured dyes, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of decorating your own eggs. This workshop is perfect for total beginners (ages 10+ due to hot wax). By the end of the day, you’ll take home two or three beautifully crafted Easter eggs to cherish or gift.
No prior experience is necessary - this course is open to beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Attendees will need to bring the following;
- Pencil
- Rubber
- Sharpener
- Ruler
- Something suitable to carry your decorated eggs home in safely!
All other equipment, eggs and refreshments will be provided.
