SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Back by popular demand, Gallery at the VAULT is delighted to offer beginner pysanky with Shannon Wallis, on Saturday, March 14, from 1-4:30 p.m.
Learn the ancient Ukrainian Easter egg art of pysanky. Since pagan times, Ukrainians have decorated eggs to welcome spring. In this hands-on class, you will learn how to divide the provided chicken egg, use hot beeswax applied with a kistka funnel to draw on the egg over a succession of aniline dyes, and blow out the egg to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind keepsake. Materials will be provided. Do wear clothes on which you can spill dye, and reading glasses if needed.
The cost of the class is discounted for gallery members. Register by Wednesday, March 11.
