Visitors are treated to a workshop on Pysanky, the time-honored Ukrainian method of decorating Easter eggs, on March 5, and an Easter egg hunt on March 19 at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.
Pysanky is the Ukrainian method for decorating Easter eggs, featuring Ukrainian folk designs and using a wax-resistant (known as “batik”) method.
The hands-on workshop is for children 14 years and older. Visitors are encouraged to bring a bag lunch — light refreshments are available. Hot wax and permanent dyes used, so please wear appropriate clothing. Space is limited and registration is required.
