Artist Linda Zwick once again taught her Ukraine Easter egg decorating class Saturday morning at Fuller Lodge Art Center. Pysankas are decorated using a wax-resin method. Swick’s three students learned the basics of this folk art using beeswax, traditional dyes, and a traditional drawing tool (kistka) and created several decorated eggs during class.
