Mrs. Ukrainian Easter Egg is teaching locals the art of pysanka, the traditional Ukrainian way of decorating eggs for the holiday.

Cassandra Wysochanskyj held a workshop April 10 at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in 麻豆精选 to teach the artform.

Pysanka translates to 鈥榯o write鈥�. The traditional form uses wax to write on the shell of the egg, colour it with dye, then remove the wax to reveal the design.

A portion of the proceeds will help purchase medical supplies and support humanitarian aid in war torn Ukraine.

Wysochanskyj is hosting a second Easter egg workshop April 24 at the Ellis Art Studio.
