NEW YORK – Approximately 25 people from New York, Quebec, Florida, Arizona and elsewhere joined in a virtual pysanka workshop on April 5 that was hosted by pysanka artist Laryssa Czebiniak via the online meeting program Zoom.
The event was organized by the Ukrainian Institute of America and its Young Professionals Council, led by Anya Shpook. Ms. Czebiniak has been leading these pysanka workshops – typically attended in person – for many years with the UIA. This time, there was a profound coming together of modern technology necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic and an ancient tradition.
