Once you’ve set up your classroom and the individual work spaces, and done your teaching, it is time to have your students actually write pysanky. 

Writing Pysanky:

Assistants: adult helpers make classes go much more smoothly

Pencil lines: using the pencil wisely, and helping students know how much is too much.

Wax lines: instructing students on wax application and helping them to do so well.

Dyeing: how much supervision is necessary and how to make it go smoothly and atraumatically.

Wax removal: what is the best way to remove wax in a classroom setting?

Finishing: emptying eggs and varnishing–what is appropriate in a classroom setting?

Packaging: helping you students get their treasures home safely.
