Over the years, she has taught pysanky classes across the US. In this workshop, we will be making beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs-pysanky. You will learn the method of batik – also called wax-resist dying. You will also be familiarized with the wide range of Ukrainian folk art traditional patterns, designs and symbols, and their history. The designs are made with beeswax which is melted in the flame of a candle and applied to the egg using a tool called a kistka. The eggs are dipped into progressively darker dyes. At the end of the process, the beeswax is melted off to reveal the beautiful and colorful design. You may use the traditional patterns or freestyle and make up your own design. You will go home with one or more completed pysanky. Students will need to bring an additional $20 for supplies paid to the instructor.

The word comes from the verb pysaty, “to write,” as the designs are not painted on but written with beeswax. The word pysanka refers specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs and is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist. Celebrate Mardi Gras by painting and designing your very own masquerade mask that can be used for a fun party or displayed in your home! You get one half-eye mask and one full-face mask.

I believe that every body type, no matter what the current physical state, can benefit from yoga. Yoga gives you the opportunity to stop and listen to your body and your mind. I became a teacher so that I could give back to students what my teachers had given to me through the years: compassion, patience, peace and release. My style of teaching is traditional Hatha Yoga. This style is based in holding each asana (pose) for 3-5 minutes in order to gain body awareness and strength as well as mind focus. Classes: • Evening - All Level Yoga Meet Tricia Wallace I began practicing yoga 12 years ago as a means to reduce stress and found not only relief but a path of self-exploration and personal growth. I have more than 1,000 hours of teaching experience and am registered through Yoga Alliance. My classes include a balance of alignment, dynamic movement, stretching, meditation, and breath work. Classes: • Morning - All Level Yoga 8 Did you know that one out of every four women will be assaulted in their lifetime and that most of the assaults take place before women are 18 years old?
