Pysanky are colored and decorated Easter eggs. At Easter, these decorated eggs, which symbolize wishes, are given to family and friends.

During the workshop we will write a pysanka using the batik technique. With a pencil we make a rough division on a full egg (raw egg). We cover what should not be colored with a special pen (kystka) filled with beeswax. We then immerse the egg in a dye bath and repeat the previous operation per color. When the egg is completely colored and dry, we remove the beeswax by melting it over a candle.
