A Moment of Curiosity/ A Dance with Playfulness
In this workshop we will be working with collage to create post cards for loved ones. This will be a time to investigate curiosity and playfulness. Minimal skills are required. We will use simple tools such as glue, paper, and scissors to create cutout collage post cards. I hope that during our time together each one of you will be able to step into a world of curiosity with the use of collage to create a story, a sense of design, and a sense of communication. Collage is a great way to explore or express gender, nature, politics, and beauty. It's a sense of storytelling. I have included some images of playful postcards that I do each day. I consider it my spiritual practice to create post cards each day, sending them to loved ones as a way to stay connected and share my curiosity.

Pysanky Ukrainian Egg Workshop
In this workshop we will be making beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs - pysanky. You will learn the method of batik dying also called wax-resist. You will also become familiarized with the wide range of Ukrainian folk art traditional patterns, designs and symbols, and their history. The designs are made with beeswax which is melted in the flame of a candle and applied to the egg using a tool called a kistka. The eggs are dipped into successively darker dyes. At the end of the process the beeswax is melted off to reveal the beautiful and colorful design. You may use the traditional patterns, or freestyle and make up your own design. Pysanky are fun, relaxing, and meditative to create. We will also talk about the symbols, which are all good wishes for good health, long life, strength and protection, and other good things. Bring a friend and share this special workshop with the Lifelong Learning Program and our partner, Friends of the School of Art and Design!
