Egg-cellent fun

Visitors are treated to a workshop on Pysanky, the time-honored Ukrainian method of decorating Easter eggs, on March 5, and an Easter egg hunt on March 19 at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.

Pysanky is the Ukrainian method for decorating Easter eggs, featuring Ukrainian folk designs and using a wax-resistant (known as “batik”) method.

The hands-on workshop is for children 14 years and older. Visitors are encouraged to bring a bag lunch — light refreshments are available. Hot wax and permanent dyes used, so please wear appropriate clothing. Space is limited and registration is required.

Pysanky Workshop, March 5 from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. Admission is $20.

The Easter egg hunt is the one day when it’s okay to put all your eggs in one basket! Children 2–12 hunt for eggs, tap their talent at arts and crafts tables, and have photos taken with the Easter Bunny. Light refreshments offered. Please bring your own basket. Registration required.

The Easter Egg hunt is on March 19 from 10:30 am to 1 pm (rain date March 20, 1 to 3 pm). $15 for children 2 to 12 ($10 member children)
