Franklin Art Dec. 2 meeting offers Pysanky demo
The Franklin Art Association welcomes Franklin-based artist Alona Popova for a fascinating demonstration of Pysanky, the traditional Ukrainian art of decorating eggs using the ancient wax-resist technique. The meeting will take place on December 2, 6:30 p.m. at the Franklin Senior Center. The program is free of charge, and all are welcome!
Alona will create a pysanka live using electric wax tools, explaining the symbolism, history, and centuries-old techniques behind this unique folk art. Participants will also watch a short video demonstrating the traditional candle-heated kistka method used in Ukraine and will be invited to try creating their own Krapanka (Polka-Dot Egg).
