This is a 3 week course on Saturdays beginning May 16, May 23, and June 6 - NO CLASS ON MAY 30 - from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Explore this traditional Ukrainian and Polish craft with artist Megan Henson. 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.
