LENOX MA 01240 || 413/637-3206 Slavic Easter Egg Workshop (Special Event): Celebrate Spring and the Easter season with a rare opportunity to learn a time-honored craft. This Eastern European tradition of creating intricate and beautifully-decorated eggs has been passed down for generations. The technique begins with unwashed eggs (provided by a local poultry farm) which offer a residue-free shell surface. The Slavic egg is a wax resistant technique which employs aniline dye later in the process. The decorating begins with drawing on the egg with wax, followed by immersion in the dye, with repeated wax drawing and dying as desired. The eggs are uncooked and are “blown” out after the decorating has been completed. These beautiful eggs may be displayed, when stored carefully, for an indefinite number of years. FEE: $25 non-member; $20 for members. Children should be at least 12 years of age. Reservations are recommended as workshop size is limited.
