Ukrainian Egg Decorating

Pysanky is the ancient Eastern European art of egg decorating, of which the Ukrainian version is arguably most famous (and is covered in this website). The name comes from the verb to write, as you use a stylus (called a kistka) to write with wax on the egg shell. The process is similar to batik.

Come in and watch a demonstration of this traditional craft by two North Branch women, Pam Frampton and Leona Ruhlman.  See these beautifully decorated eggs.
