Pysanka: Ukrainian Egg Dyeing

This class is set up for people with different skills levels. From beginners who have little or no experience to experienced artists who are interested in creating their own beautiful egg designs inspired by the Ukrainian egg dyeing tradition of Pysanka. Students will learn how to decorate eggs using traditional tools, waxes and dyes, with tips on trouble shooting, storage, and display of finished works of art. The finished product can be used as tree ornaments, gift-giving, or displayed in the home.

Ianna Nova Frisby teaches art at Sacramento City College and Sierra Community College while maintaining a studio at the Verge Center for the Arts in Sacramento. Although clay is her main focus, one of her favorite winter time activities is to do Pysanka with friends and family.
