Stop by artbeat to purchase supplies or register for a Ukrainian egg decorating class.

Share the joys of springtime by making PYSANKY – eggs decorated in the Ukrainian tradition. In this two-hour class, we will teach the techniques used in the Ukraine and other Slavic countries to create colorful designs on eggs. Learn how to use beeswax as a resist, and then layer colors of your choosing to achieve intricate results. Learn More

Children come in all colors, and so do our cotton dolls. Every year on Martin Luther King day we hold a very special event in our studio. Kids can choose a 7” stuffed doll body and create a character (person or animal) complete with face, fingernails, and clothes that you have designed.

This project is best for Ages 8 and up (younger with adult help) and costs $18 per doll. If you plan to attend with more than 2 children, please call in advance to reserve a place. more info
