Join us with master folk artist John Rajtar, for stories about the intricate and ancient designs on Pisanki - Polish Easter Eggs!
"I have been given a gift. I remember seeing my first Polish Pisanki at my Babcia's (Grandma's) home in NorthEast Minneapolis. I was completely mesmerized by their colors and symbols- a mystery that I wanted to pursue. Pisanki were the perfect marriage of history, tradition, culture of my Polish soul. It has evoked comfort and value to something crafted by hand with a spirit and pride handed down from aged hands to the young. Pisanki are the bridges that connect culture and tradition living in the US with a Polish heart." -JR
Participants are invited to design their own egg at home!

The Story Table Foundation is committed to incorporating Multiple Intelligence Theory because studies show that comprehension is greatly improved when all learning styles are engaged. By actively working with their hands, asking questions and developing embodied cognition, each child is allowed to learn in a way that aligns with their strengths.
