Apr 25th, 2010

Last night while admiring Elly‘s foil stamped holograph Bread Clip earrings by Sandy Plotnikoff (acquired at MADE), Grant , who himself has created a gorgeous iridescent hanging garden currently showing at MADE’s installation space*,  mentioned that Sandy has a print show on at an Ossignton gallery.

Interview by Jen Anisef
Photos of student work by Andrei Gravelle

This past weekend, when attending Quilt Sunday at the workroom, I was lucky enough to spy on the tail end of the Ukrainian Easter Egg (Psanky (or Pysanky or Pysanka)) workshop.  Having always had a hankering to learn more about Psanky, I caught up with the instructor Andrei after the class and asked him for the lowdown on the craft and how he got in to it.

(p.s. I found this great Flickr group if anyone is interested in exploring the world of Psanky further…)
