The value of the egg has been in the news a lot these days, however, decorating the humble egg has always been a precious Springtime tradition.
Join us as we eggsperiment with various decorating techniques both ancient and modern.
We will learn about, and be inspired by, traditional Pysanky (Ukrainian egg decorating). We will also dabble with marbleizing and resist techniques. Participants will also try out some natural dyes made from household kitchen vegetable scraps.
What to bring:
- Very important – these dyes are “serious” – bring an apron or clothing you don’t mind crafting in.
- Any images that you care to use for inspiration. (Optional)
- A few eggs will be provided for you but you may want to bring a few extra if you are an over eggcheiver.
