Ask us anything about pysanky—orange wash

Ask us anything about pysanky—tools, technique, tradition and more . . . . To share our knowledge, our team of experts draws on not only our heritage, but also over 30 years teaching pysanky to all ages and levels of experience since 1991. Today's dialogue is on technique.

Question – What is orange wash?

Answer – It's a second or supplemental jar of orange dye. It has the unique ability to "wash out" accent colours of light green, light blue or turquoise and prepare the shell for the bright, vibrant colours that come next. 

Baba's Beeswax offers a handy colour chart explaining the traditional sequence for guaranteed results, including "orange wash", using the 18 colours palette. See their Laminated Pysanky Colour Sequence Chart on their website here.

We believe that pysanky is a fun activity. We embrace “Panya Pysanka”, our cool, hip, and whimsical mascot character who follows us on social media to help promote pysanky.
