* Etched Pysanky (Museum of Russian Icons)

In the etched egg pysanky class students will create wax designs on the egg in the traditional manner; however, once eggs have their wax designs, the egg will be dipped in a chemical bath that will “eat away” the egg shell that is not covered in wax, leaving an etched finish. The results are amazing! This class is for both beginners and those with experience.
