Since launching this project, I have been asked to help host Pysanky For Peace gatherings to teach the art of Ukrainian pysanky writing. To hopefully streamline the questions I have received, and to make it easier to consider booking a private or public workshop or Pysanky Party – please be sure to check out the information below. If you are interested in booking me for a workshop – whether in person or online – please use the form on the contact page to connect with me. I also plan, in the near future to create a list by state/province of pysanky teachers who are interested in partnering with this project to host workshops as well – if you are a teacher and interested in hosting pysanky workshops to help support this project and the causes we are raising funds for – please use the form to contact me as well to start a conversation. Many thanks!

Suggested Workshop Teaching Fee* : $150.00 (if this is beyond your means – please let me know as I am happy to work with you to be able to sponsor and event and share the knowledge of pysanky writing)
Per Participant Fee * : Recommended sliding scale of $10-$50
Workshop fees include all materials needed to host 8-10 people and include for use : egg, kitska, wax, dyes
Workshops typically last 2-4 hours depending on time allowed at a workshop location to allow time for participants to complete at least one pysanka.
* With the exception of $40 for replenishing material costs, the remainder of the fees for both the teaching fee and participant fees are donated to the organizations we are working to support that are helping to provide humanitarian support on the ground in Ukraine at this time.
For Workshops Beyond A 2 Hour Radius of Albany, NY :
I am more than happy and willing to travel to teach the Ukrainian art of pysanky writing.
For workshops outside of the 2 hour radius of Albany – please contact me for further information about where you are located. A travel fee would apply, and is dependent upon locations with regards to driving, flying and if necessary lodging expenses.
