Folk Art Workshops at Chase Home Museum.

Utah Arts & Museums provides Folk Art Workshops each month at the Chase Home Museum.


What are these Folk Art Workshops?

A qualified, local teaching artist will lead a monthly Folk Art Workshop to create, design, or make a folk art craft. Subsidized by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums (UA&M), these workshops aim to share traditional arts and lifeways of Utah's cultural communities. This subsidized series provides Utahns with the interactive opportunity to learn about a wide array of visual folk arts through a hands-on experience.

Pysanky (Egg Decoration)

INGRID HERSMAN


Saturday, March 1 at 2 p.m.
(120 minutes)

Decorate eggs using traditional Eastern European techniques.
Using beeswax and dyes, artist Ingrid Hersman will guide you through the intricate art of creating your own pysanky eggs. Born and raised in Germany, Ingrid became naturally drawn to her family’s history and ancestral traditions. Her journey into her cultural heritage evolved into a teaching experience, where she shares the ancient art of pysanky, weaving together history, creativity, and tradition. Ingrid guides workshop participants in a step-by-step decoration process, applying intricate patterns with a tool called a “kistka” to apply wax and dye. By the end of the class, you'll have a one-of-a-kind pysanky egg to take home!
