Pysanka magic: when tradition becomes inspiration
On the eve of the bright holiday of Easter, Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic held a warm and inspiring master class on making Easter eggs, where everyone was able to participate in the ancient Ukrainian tradition.
Under the guidance of a talented craftswoman of decorative art, a member of the Zaporizhzhia branch of the National Union of Folk Art Masters of Ukraine, Olha Pavlik, the participants learned about the symbolism of ornaments, the peculiarities of the techniques and tools used in pysanka, and most importantly, they created their own author’s pysanka filled with special meaning.
The master class in piesankari became a great opportunity to slow down in the rhythm of everyday life, feel the connection with tradition and have a good time in a sincere circle.
Guests also had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the library’s thematic exhibition «Spring is full of miracles – Christ is Risen!», where unique editions from the library’s collections about the national features of Easter holidays, customs, rituals and the art of Easter writing were presented.
The master class was organized with the support of the NGO «Divosvit», student self-government, the trade union committee of students and the scientific library of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University.
May the light of Easter bring peace and harmony to your homes, fill your heart with hope and faith in yourself and the power of good!
Christ is Risen! Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.
