May you have a creative and happy Easter!
Ukrainian newcomers teaching the art of pysanka ahead of Easter
“I think that the main thing for the artists is to show their feelings, express their feelings, with the lines and with the colours and with the style they’re using. When you will be focusing only on the process and just your aim will be to get the perfect pysanka, at the end you can lose something. You have to look inside—what you have inside—what you want to show in your piece. Maybe your feelings, maybe your sadness, maybe your happiness, something to share with people. And you can show it on the surface of pysanka. This is the most important. And we don’t need ten perfect pysankas, we need ten unique pysankas with unique feelings on it.
— Oksana, Ukrainian who came to Canada in 2022, at a pysanky-making workshop in Ottawa
