Pysanky Ukrainian Egg Decorating Workshop with Sharon Leonard "The Egglady."

Our guest, Sharon Leonard "The Egglady" will teach and demonstrate the Art of Ukrainian Easter Egg decoration. The Pysanky decorating process is relatively simple but keeping a steady hand can be a challenge. The process involves applying melted wax to the eggshell in a design, then dipping it into different colored dyes, layer by layer. Going progressively darker, the process is repeated for each color and by the end of the process the egg will be covered with a great deal of wax. The next step shows something spectacular. Using the side of a candle flame, guests melt away the wax to reveal a brilliantly colored egg.
