City: Fairbanks, Alaska Location: The Folk School Name of Teacher: Lidiia Olszowy Phone: (907) 479-0077 Email: Lidiiaro@gmail.com Class Times: On demand Ages taught: 10 years old with parent or guardian Info: For many people it is an Easter egg decorated using a method similar to batik, but for Ukrainians it’s more than just a pretty egg. The Ukrainian pysanka (from the word pysaty (verb) /to write/) was believed to possess an enormous power not only in the egg itself, which harbored the beginning of life, but also in the symbolic designs and colors which were written upon the egg in a unique manner for centuries. The intricately colored eggs were used in every part of life – various social and religious occasions – and were considered to be a talisman and protector against evil, as well as harbingers of good, as well as a letter to someone. This class is set up for people with different skills levels. From beginners who have little or no experience in writing pysanky to experienced artists who are interested in learning this unique language and technique. It is much more than that! Ukrainians have been decorating eggs and creating these miniature jewels for countless generations. There is a ritualistic element involved, magical thinking and a calling out to the Universe or God – for health, fertility, love, protection, new beginnings, changes in your life and wealth. Join us for this lesson to learn the history and meanings behind this ancient language of colors and symbols. All materials would be provided during the workshop part of this class.
