The Crisp Museum will host Ukrainian Pysanka Egg Decoration workshops on March 6 and 7.

The name Pysanky comes from the verb to write. A stylus, called a kistka, is used to write with wax on the eggshell. The kistka has a handle and a small funnel which holds melted wax. During these workshops, Pysanky surface design and handling techniques will be demonstrated. Participants will create their own Pysanky egg with rich dyes and symbolic designs using a wax resist process. 

The workshops, which are open to ages nine and older, are planned from 1-4 p.m. both days. No experience is required, and supplies will be provided.

Cost for this workshop is $5, and pre-registration with a fee is required by March 4 or in-person at the Museum.

Crisp Museum is located inside the Cultural Arts Center at Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus, 518 S. Fountain St., Cape Girardeau, MO 63703. Questions: (573) 651-2260.
