Join us for a beautiful celebration of tradition in our Hungarian Easter Egg Decorating Class! Discover the rich Easter customs of Hungary while exploring intricate decorating techniques from different regions of Hungary and its neighboring countries.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll use the traditional beeswax-resist method on white eggs, focusing on detailed Transylvanian patterns—designs especially close to my heart, as I am originally from that region. As you create, you’ll also enjoy a thoughtfully selected wine from the area, adding an authentic taste of the region to the experience. Each participant will leave with their decorated eggs and the supplies needed to continue this timeless craft at home.
