Students will learn to make traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs, using layers of wax, colored dye, and hollow chicken eggs. Each student will leave with an abstract “practice” egg and a finished Ukrainian-style design. This class is suitable for both complete artistic beginners and more experienced artists wanting to learn a new skill.

Students will take home two hollow dyed eggs (sprayed with clear acrylic gloss if weather permits) and one kistka (wax “writing” tool)

Grade 9-Adult (Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult)

*Please wear clothes you are comfortable with getting dye on!*
