Pysanky

Join us for this virtual offering in solidarity with Ukraine! All proceeds will be donated to the Ukrainian people.

Pysanka means “painted egg” in Ukrainian.⁠“Simply put, it is an Easter egg decorated using a wax resist (aka batik) method. But it is much more than that. Ukrainians have been decorating eggs, creating these miniature jewels, for countless generations. There is a ritualistic element involved, magical thinking, a calling out to the gods and goddesses for health, fertility, love, and wealth. There is a yearning for eternity, for the sun and stars, for whatever gods that may be.”
