Pysanky: Snowflake Eggs at the Hattie Weselyk Studio – December 18

Have you seen pysanky on social media and been curious? Or maybe you’ve taken a class and need to finish. In this session, you will receive tools, beeswax, a candle, blown eggs and have access to instructor materials. This fun snowflake design is a vibrant introduction to this traditional folk art. Our focus for this session will be learning to confidently pencil divisions, write an original snowflake, dip in dye and remove the wax. Students may choose to sign or date the back. This class is geared toward all levels.

Have a great time, learn more about a wonderful folk art, and grow artistically!
