Ukrainian Egg Decorating Workshop for Kids March 29, 2009

Kids age 10 and over, accompanied by an adult, are invited to learn the traditional art of Ukrainian egg decoration at Wright Library on Sunday, March 29 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. The eggs, also known as pyansky eggs, date back to ancient times. The name comes from the Ukrainian verb to write, since you use a stylus (called a kistka) to write with wax on the egg shell. The process is similar to batik. It is a good idea to wear old clothes as the process can sometimes be a little messy!

Space is limited, so be sure to register before March 25.

For more information or to register, please contact the Youth Services Department at 294-7171.

Wright Memorial Public Library is located at 1776 Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood.
