Upcoming shows where you can see my traditional crafts,

No Spring 2021 Classes Currently Scheduled

I’m looking forward to the time when the world is back to normal, and we can do classes again! I’m sure you are too.

In the mean time, check out my how-to book, Wax Resist Decorated Eggs, which contains all the class materials and more, with lots of color photos!

Decorate a Ukrainian-Style Pysanka Egg

Postponed until Sometime Later
(The Library is closed.)

Friday, March 27, 2020
1:00 – 4:00 pm

Charlotte Hobbs Library, Lovell, Maine

Decorate your own holiday egg in the distinctive Ukrainian pysanka style, using wax-resist method on a real egg. Draw lines of beeswax on your egg with a traditional waxing tool, dip the egg in dye, and watch your pattern appear. The finished eggs will be varnished and hollowed, creating a permanent keepsake. 

Eggs made by first-time students

Many students who at first worried that “they wouldn’t be able to do it” are still gushing about the beautiful egg they made in class!

Call  Charlotte Hobbs Library  (207) 925-3177  to register
Class space is limited. This class has always filled up.
No fee for this class.
