Employing some of the Psyanky Ukrainian egg techniques we learned at last week's Nerd Nite! You'll have to guess which one was ours. What my egg lacks in finesse it makes up for in appreciation for the KU Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies and Dr. Luttrell for introducing us to this unique and fun art!
Join us on May 14 for our next Nerd Nite and who knows what we'll learn!

So much to learn about Pysanky (Ukrainian Eggs), including how they keep a great demon away (as long as you keep it up!) and how the art can be protest! Thank you to Dr. Megan Luttrell from KU Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies for sharing your knowledge and passion!

Our fabulous raffle prizes, including sardine pens, a Sylas and Maddys ice cream gift card, and a pint glass graciously donated by Lawrence Public Library !

We are learning all about Kratky Hydroponics from a certified master gardener (Kathy Savage)! Apparently jabbing toothpicks into an avocado pit and suspending it in a cup of water is a form of Hydroponics (not pictured)!

Don't miss tonight's spring time Nerd Nite where we'll hear from: "Pysanky: The Ancient Ukrainian Tradition of Decorated Eggs." by Dr. Megan Lutrell and “Kratky Hydroponics, Great for beginners and children!” by Kathy Savage
