The second of today's two Ukrainian egg decorating workshops with Lesia Sochor. A Maine artist of Ukrainian descent, Sochor learned this ancient spring tradition from her mother and has shared this craft in workshops throughout the state. The Pysanka, a decorated egg, has origins among Slavic peoples as far back as 5,000 B.C. and was deeply important in spring rituals, symbolizing nature's rebirth. $10 per person (free for Bates students). Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult. Sponsored by the Bates College Museum of Art. Space is limited and registration is required: Please call 207-786-8212 to register or for more information.
