Happy New Year!
Robbie here.
Growing up as a kid in the 70's we were
always doing one craft or another.
These were crafty times.
Sand candles. Macramé. Pet Rocks.
Homemade kites. Dream catchers.
One year as Easter approached my mom announced that we would be trying a new method of dyeing Easter eggs that she had read about in a magazine.
Gone were the store bought dye kits.
These were replaced with leaves and flowers from the garden and other strange ingredients like coffee grounds and crepe paper streamers.
The results were mind blowing.
Through this process the leaves and flowers
would leave detailed impressions on the eggs.
Sometimes the results were photo-realistic.
Other times more abstract. Always amazing.
Fast forward to New Year's Day 2017.
Holly and I had talked about adapting this method for a workshop session.
We wanted to get rid of the artificial dyes and replace them with natural ones.
The results were even better than we dreamed.
A new tradition was born.
New Year's eggs.
We are now scheduling egg dyeing workshops for both adults and children for early April.
Contact us for more information
and to make reservations.
