Pyansky Egg Making Program


Ohio County Public Library

Pysanky are traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method, where intricate designs are "written" on raw eggs with beeswax using a tool called a kistka, then dyed in layers from light to dark. The wax acts as a sealant, preserving colors underneath, and is removed at the end to reveal vibrant, symbolic patterns. This program takes place in the OCPL Harold E Vitalie Auditorium and is designed for adults. As always, this program is free to attendees. Registration is required. To register, call the OCPL at (304) 232-0244 and speak to or leave a message for Julia Bachmann. You will be registered for the class when Julia confirms your spot.
