Preregistration is required.

This is a 3 week course on Saturdays: May 16 and 23, and June 6 - NO CLASS ON MAY 30.

With a method similar to batik, you will draw patterns on real eggs with wax, protecting the covered areas from the dye that is applied. By repeating this process with different colors of dye, you will be able to build multi-colored patterns. Finally, the wax is removed to reveal a rainbow of colors that were covered up at each stage. No experience necessary.
