Pysanki Decorated Pots
Pysanki is the art of creating Ukrainian eggs by applying hot wax to the egg, then dyeing the egg and repeating the process to get brilliant colors in complex designs. I have been "doing eggs" since I was 4 years old. The eggs are beautiful yet inherently fragile. In this series I explored decorating my pots with Pysanki designs. I used a satin glaze as a base and applied colored engobes with the drop/pull method using a pin head. I like the old-world folk art feel of these pieces.
