STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Learn to craft Ukrainian Pysanky<\/em> eggs as part of the W.K. Gordon Center for Industrial History of Texas Sunday Afternoon Program series at 2 p.m., March 25.<\/p>\n The traditional Easter artifact is decorated with traditional folk designs from Ukraine, using a technique by which the designs are carefully written in beeswax.<\/p>\n Pysanka<\/em> is often taken to mean any type of decorated egg, but it specifically refers to one made by the written-wax method and utilizing traditional folk motifs and designs.<\/p>\n According to scholars, the art of wax-resist egg decoration in Slavic cultures probably dates back to the pre-Christian era. In modern times, the art of the pysanka<\/em> was carried abroad by Ukrainian emigrants to North and South America, where the custom took hold.<\/p>\n Participants will learn about the history of Pysanky<\/em> eggs and walked through the process of making their own. Included in the $15 materials fee is a kit which includes wax, two eggs, and artistic tools. <\/p>\n Reservations are required by calling (254) 968-1886. Space is limited.<\/p>\n The W.K.
