Description
Join Rhianna for a special afternoon of springtime magic. We’ll start with a short meditation and ritual to set the tone before we begin decorating our pysanky eggs. This ancient art form can transform into a meditative practice—a quiet prayer of rhythm, balance, and color. As you immerse yourself in the process, each egg becomes a heartfelt expression of your inner vision.
This class is perfect for beginners—no experience or artistic skill is needed! If you’re already familiar with this tradition, we warmly invite you to join us too, as creating together brings a special kind of magic and blessing. All the supplies needed to create your egg will be provided.
If you’d like to continue this art at home, take-home kits are available for $35. Each kit includes six basic color dyes prepared in wide-mouth mason jars, along with the essential design tools. Prepayment is required at the time of registration, as no extra kits will be available on the day of the class unless pre-ordered.

Our Slavic ancestors believed that the pysanka carried powerful magic. These intricately decorated eggs served as amulets and talismans, inviting blessings of good fortune and protection from harm. They heralded the arrival of spring, symbolizing the rebirth of life after the cold, frozen stillness of winter.
Each pysanka was adorned with beautiful, meaningful symbols—some whose significance we still understand today, while others have been lost to the passage of time. Yet, the tradition endures, sustained by Ukrainian artists who continue to honor this ancient craft, ensuring its legacy remains unbroken.
While the symbols themselves hold deep meaning, the true magic of the pysanka lies in the love, intention, and energy infused into the egg during its creation. It is this heartfelt devotion that transforms the act of decorating into a timeless expression of connection and hope.
