With all of the terrible scenes on TV surrounding the bombardment of Ukraine, Senior Solutions outreach staff member Suzanne Burge will be offering a beautiful alternative – an art class in the making of pysanky, using traditional Ukrainian folk designs and methods. Suzanne was first introduced to this technique in the 1980s, and has recently renewed her interest in this craft.
The class teaches complete beginners how to use a wax-resistant technique to make these beautiful items. Participants will receive full packets of information detailing color and design symbolism for those who wish to pursue this art form further.
It will be held from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday, April 23 at the Springfield Art Gym, 335 River St, Springfield. Classes cost $25.00, which includes all necessary materials for the day. The class is limited in size, but on-line registration can be completed at HERE. Questions? Email springfieldartgym@gmail.com .
