Join us in celebrating Pysanky for Ukraine Day 🇺🇦

As we honor this beautiful tradition, we invite you to continue creating with us at our upcoming (and last for this season) "Pysanka Meet-Up" on April 1.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced pysanka maker, this is a wonderful opportunity to gather in community, share techniques, and create meaningful designs together.

Pysanky for Ukraine Day is a worldwide community event where people create traditional Pysanky to celebrate Ukrainian culture, build connection, and show support for Ukraine.

According to an old Ukrainian legend, as long as pysanky are being made, evil shall not prevail over good in the world.
