Pysanky Decorated Egg

Shannon Wallis, an egg artist from Norwich, VT, has been creating batik eggs since 1994 when she learned the technique from a friend. While Shannon has no known Ukrainian ancestry, she has fallen in love with pysanky as an art form and finds both the traditional and modern designs enticing, especially when they involve geometry. Shannon teaches pysanky in her home studio, at the annual PysankyUSA retreat in Wilkes-Barre, PA, at the Meredith League of NH Craftsmen, and through CraftStudies at the Hanover League of NH Craftsmen, where she is also a monitor in the clay studio.
