Centre For Creative Living: Ukrainian Pysanka Workshop
Are you feeling heavy-hearted and powerless about the situation in Ukraine? Ukraine Diaspora Support Canada is a local grassroots, non-profit initiative located in Carleton Place to bring families and individuals fleeing the war in Ukraine to our area. It involves many local Churches, community organizations, and volunteers.
As part of this initiative, the Centre For Creative Living, St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Almonte, is offering two separate workshops, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, to make Pysanka. These Ukrainian eggs, usually made by women and girls using traditional folk designs, represent rebirth. To give Pysanka is to give a symbolic gift of life. During the workshop, an opportunity will be provided to share thoughts and feelings about the war over a cup of coffee or tea and refreshments.
Tickets for the workshops can be obtained by making a donation to support this effort. This money will be used first of all to help pay for the families’ airfares.
