Pysanky Workshops
I teach many kinds of
workshops. Most recently, I taught a group of art teachers
through Geness Valley BOCES how to make pysanky and how to teach
pysanky to their students. In the spring, I give many lectures
and demonstrations in various places in the Rochester community, and
run various private and public workshops for children and adults.
Please contact me if you
would like to set up a workshop or lecture/demo, or if you would like
to learn more about how YOU can teach a pysanky workshop
yourself! I can't be everywhere at once and I am happy to share
my instructional materials.

lovely multicolored eggs. IMPORTANT WARNING! This craft involves
the use of a candle. Please do not bring children below age three.
