The Schuylkill County Historical Society has announced classes for those interested in making pysanky eggs.
A pysanky egg is a Ukrainian Easter Egg that is decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty , "to write" or "to inscribe ", as the designs are not painted on, but written (inscribed) with beeswax. Many other Central and Eastern European ethnic groups decorate eggs using wax resist for Easter.
Fees for each of the two classes are $30 for Society members and $35 for the general public.
For more information and reservations, which are required, contact the Society at 570-622-7540.
