Ukrainian Style Eggs
Barbara Deschapelles
The first week is a lot of "how-to". We will learn about tools, the steps needed to complete an egg, and practice drawing on an egg with pencil and then with wax. You will be able to pick a design from a book or design your own. We'll also discuss dying the eggs and completing multiple layers, removing the wax and varnishing the finished egg.
Week two is on how to divide the eggs more precisely to successfully complete a more complex egg. We'll go over how to etch a design on the egg, using brown eggs rather than white and how to empty eggs
Other techniques including alcohol inks and scratched eggs will be discussed in class on week three.
The fourth week is time to complete any projects, answer any left-over questions and generally have fun.
Age: 16 - Adult
Fee: $60 per 4-day class
Days: Saturdays
Time: 12:00 - 4:00 pm
Dates: February 3, 17, 24 & March 2, 2024
