Ukrainian Style Eggs by Barbara Deschapelles
Barbara Deschapelles
Barb has lived in Troy for over 40 years, and worked in the computing and Information Technology sector most of that time. She and her husband have two grown children and two grandchildren. Barb has been making Ukrainian style eggs for better than 25 years, but continues to learn new and different techniques. The interest in these eggs started at home when she was a child, and her family displayed several eggs each Easter. She has taught this class for a number of years.
Ukrainian Style Egg Decorating
Barbara Deschapelles
This class covers traditional, as well as some non-traditional methods used in making Ukrainian Style Eggs (Pysanky).
Students will create their own design or choose from printed patterns for their eggs. The class fee includes a basic kit so
students can continue to work at home. The 1st week’s class covers the basics of traditional decoration using a wax resist
process. Subsequent classes are devoted to advanced and non-traditional methods, including shading with dyes,
etching and more. Be sure to wear old clothes to class, as we will be using hot melted wax and dyes that do not easily wash
out if spilled on clothing. Bring an old towel or two with you to use as a soft landing for eggs that slip. All other supplies are
included in the fee.
Age Limits: Adult
Fee: $45
Class Days: 4
Time: 12:00 - 4:00 PM
Day: Saturdays
Date: 2/8/20 - 2/29/20 - 5/30/20

Treasures Captured: Mementos Mounted In Metal
with David Brand & Sandra Picciano Brand
We all have a stash of little treasures we’ve accumulated, or have had handed down to us over the years - buttons, coins, charms, badges, etc. This workshop will concentrate on incorporating them into jewelry designs by means of cold connection, i.e. mechanical means not involving soldering. These techniques include riveting, tabs, micro bolts, prongs, and others. You will also learn or brush up on the important metalsmithing skills of sawing, filing, drilling, as well as methods of surface embellishment. Bring several items as not everything is suitable for mounting. We will also have elements available for use, much of it free, but also some for purchase. Suggestions for items to be set into your jewelry are: pottery shards, post cards, coins, buttons, charms, amulets, etc. Students should plan on providing their own lunch.
