LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Wool Eggs

March 11, 2023  9:30am-2:00pm
Instructor:  Drew Betz
Location:  Museum Annex, 112 Morris St, La Conner WA

The Ukrainian Easter egg tradition preserves some of the cultural symbolism and power of decorated eggs that was once very common across Eurasia and still found in some places today. They are given as gifts to preserve the health of the recipient. A bowl of decorated eggs is commonly displayed in homes at all times of year, as they bring health to people in the house.

Learn to assemble a fiber version of this traditional egg made from wool, stuff it, decorate it with simple appliques and decorative stitches.  Drew will not only walk you through cutting and assembling the egg, and will teach you a variety of decorative stitches to embellish some simple appliques.  Only hand-sewing will be required and all materials for the class are included in the fee.  Suitable for ages 12 and up.

Students should bring:
Scissors - suitable for both cutting fabric and snipping threads (Required)
Chenille Embroidery Needle - size 18 or 20 or similar  (Required)
Thimble (Optional)
Table Light (Optional)

Fee:   Member $45 / Nonmember $50
