PAST PROGRAM

This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!


Event Details:


Step back in time and learn how families in the early 1900s used natural ingredients to create beautiful, hand-dyed eggs. Before store-bought dyes, people relied on onion skins, beets, coffee, and other plant-based materials to color eggs for Easter and spring celebrations. In this hands-on program, participants will use a cold-dye method to dip eggs into pre-made natural dye baths, experimenting with historical techniques like leaf imprinting and color layering. Join us for a creative, eco-friendly experience that connects history, nature, and tradition—leaving you with uniquely decorated eggs and a deeper appreciation for the past!
