Pysanky & Potions [SOLD OUT]

  • Arteasy | CHEVERLY 2616 Crest Avenue Cheverly, MD, 20785 (map)

Back by popular demand, Cheverly resident Casey Kneipp will be in the studio for one night only, sharing the intricate art of Pysanky (Ukrainian egg decorating)! Join us for a night of creative egg art, ‘Spring Fling’ cocktails, and good company.

Class will be from 7pm - 9:30pm.

The myth of Pysanky in Ukrainian folk art - The fate of the world depends upon the pysanka. As long as the egg decorating custom continues, the world will exist. If, for any reason, this custom is abandoned, evil––in the shape of a horrible serpent who is forever chained to a cliff–– will overrun the world. Each year the serpent sends out his minions to see how many pysanky have been created. If the number is low the serpent's chains are loosened and he is free to wander the earth causing havoc and destruction. If, on the other hand, the number of pysanky has increased, the chains are tightened and good triumphs over evil for yet another year.
