What is the real name for Ukrainian egg art?

In Ukrainian, the intricate, decorative sort of Easter eggs, not the ones made for eating, are called "pysanky" (singular "pysanka"). The art of making them is called "pysankarstvo" in Ukrainian, or simply "pysanka making" in English. The actual process (using wax and dyes) is commonly referred to as "batik."


How do you find advanced instructors for lessons in making pysanky?

It's like anything else--you have to ask around. If you know any advanced pysanka artists, ask them if they teach classes or know anyone who does. If there is a shop in your area that sells pysanka supplies, ask them about classes or recommendations for teachers. Join an on-line community like Yahoo Groups (Eggs-Pysanky) and post a request/query with the group.
