What is Pysanky you ask?
Easter egg decorating is an important art form that dates back centuries. Known as pysanky, these Ukrainian Easter eggs are decorated using the wax-resist (batik) method. Covered in stunning motifs often taken from Slavic folk art, you'll also find these decorated eggs in many parts of eastern Europe.
The word itself is taken from the Ukrainian word “to write,” which gives a hint into how it's done. These starter kits have everything you need to make your own pysanky - and you'll know immediately how they differ from the dip-dyed eggs you might be accustomed to.
