Ukrainian lore claims that the fewer pysanky eggs made each year, the more evil there is in the world. Make more pysanky eggs and evil diminishes. With that in mind, Personal Euphoria will be hosting a virtual Pysanky Party. All proceeds will be donated to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

Maggie Downie, owner of Personal Euphoria, has been making Pysanky eggs since childhood. She will teach a virtual class in Ukrainian Egg dying. The $10 charge to join the class will be fully donated.

After the event Maggie will additionally auction off an egg and donate funds raised.

Whether you’ve always wanted to learn, think watching could be a meditative, or are just interested in Ukrainian Eggs or supporting the Ukraine, we’d love to have you join us.

What You’ll Need:

If you just want to watch, all you will need is the class link (which will be emailed to you upon registration).

If you want to participate, you’ll need the following:

    • 1-2 eggs (white or brown) pulled out the fridge 24 hours in advance
    • A dye kit (Maggie recommends this one): (sometimes I’ve found this kit on Amazon—if I can’t I purchase directly through this source—check the ship date to ensure you can have it in time.).
    • You’ll need to have made your dyes the day before so they have time to cool—and you’ll need jars for the dye—Tostitos salsa jars work best. Remember you’ll need to get an egg in and out of them without dropping it. You’ll also need white vinegar for some dyes.
      A candle and a way to light it, keep it upright and collect dripping
    •  A few Q-tips
    • Paper towels
    • Pencil
    • A safety pin or needle
