Eggstravaganza!

Eggstravaganza is a fun-filled event celebrating the Eastern-European art of pysanky.  This centuries old folk art utilizes a wax-resist process using colorful dyes and beeswax to create eggs covered with intricate designs.  Start a new tradition in your family by learning this wonderful craft. 

The Eggstravaganza begins Friday, April 3rd from 6pm - 9pm with a Lenten dinner offered and a pysanky workshop at 6:30pm.  Doors open Saturday, April 4th  at 9:30am with pysanky classes at 10am and 1pm.  There will be Lenten lunch items available as well as baked goods.  In addition, the bookstore will have a wide variety of terrific Easter gift items and pysanky kits, tools, dyes and books.

Pre-registration for the pysanky classes is highly recommended.  Please call 860-523-0334 or 860-721-0280 to register.  Classes are $25 per person and last approximately 2 1/2 hours.
