Create your own etched egg in the style of master pysanka writer Tetiana Konoval! Learn to etch your egg safely while you follow a simple design with a few of Tetiana’s favourite elements. Janice will share some of Tetiana’s story of why she uses elements like the stork, Tryzuk, grapes, angels, village houses and more. Please note this is an advanced class and very hands-on, as you will begin writing as soon as class begins. All materials will be provided.

Janice’s Ukrainian heritage weaves into all areas of her life when she cooks, bakes, sews and of course when she writes pysanky. She loves to share the traditions with her family and especially her grandchildren. Janice learnt to write pysanky from her Babas, her mother, and her Ukrainian community and now she teaches and sells her pysanky and pysanka jewelry at local markets, fairs and Ukrainian museums.

Tetiana Konoval lives in Kyiv, and is an artist, teacher, and author of the book “Pisankova Abetka”. She is an Honored Master of Folk Art of Ukraine and teaches virtual pysanky lessons through her Youtube channel Tetiana Konoval Pysanky UA. Recently since the war started in Ukraine, Janice has connected with Tetiana, taking Tetiana’s online courses and now recreating some of Tetiana’s pysanky to sell at fundraisers so she can send financial support to help Tetiana manage through the war.
