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.
