Program Description

Event Details

One of the most recognized aspects of Polish Easter traditions are Polish Easter eggs. Called “pisanki” in Polish (which comes from the verb pisać, or "to write"), the elaborately decorated Polish Easter egg is a tradition that is centuries-old and continues to be loved and celebrated to this day. 

Join us to decorate your own egg!   All supplies will be included. 

*Please note we will not be decorating in a 100% traditional pisanki style, but participants are encouraged to paint their eggs in whatever style they enjoy!
