Lesia Sochor will teach how to do the Art of Ukrainian Egg Decoration at the Liberty Library. The workshop is limited to 15 people. This activity is appropriate for ages 8 & up. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration required.
.
The ancient ritual of transforming an ordinary egg into a ‘Pysanka’ can be traced as far back as 5000 BC. Seen as the embodiment of the renewal of life, they were a source of wonder and magic for primitive people. The egg continues its talismanic powers to this day as a spring tradition, now associated with Easter, as it is passed down from one generation to the next. Lesia Sochor was taught this exquisite art form by her Ukrainian mother. She celebrates her cultural roots and connection to her homeland, in her annual decoration of Pysanky.
Designs are drawn on the egg with melted beeswax which flows from a tool called a ‘Kystka’ The eggs are then dipped in a series of dyes and the final pattern is revealed when the wax is removed.
.
This workshop is funded by a generous donation from a library patron.

Use our privacy booth for a quiet work space, meetings, and phone calls. It is normally on a first-come basis, but if you would like to schedule its use for a meeting or telehealth appointment, call the library ahead of time, and we will reserve it for you. Generally the use time is 1-hour but that is flexible, especially if no one is waiting to use it. You may bring your own device or use the library’s laptop computer.

Libraries aren’t quiet places as they used to be. The library is a multi-use community space, but the Zenbooth gives an individual space to work in silence and perhaps tap into their zen energy!
