Online Class: How To Make Beautiful Ukrainian Eggs
You've most likely seen these beautiful eggs before and just called them fancy Easter eggs. You will learn about the area of Ukraine as well as the craft and legends of the gorgeous wax-resist process eggs. Ukraine is one of the 14 ex-Soviet republics. The craft is basically very simple. Practice is the main ingredient. According to legend, the more eggs made in a year, the better luck you will have that year. Isn't that reason enough to get going on some eggs? I've written this course so that if you want to follow along using only crayons, markers or colored pencils and make the designs on paper eggs, you may. Buying the kit at a later date is fine -- just so you have the knowledge now.

Course Description
Have fun getting ready for Easter 2007! You've seen these beautiful eggs before and probably just called them fancy Easter eggs. You'll learn the history, craft and legends of the gorgeous wax-resist process eggs (a very easy process) and about Ukraine, the area from which they originate. Ukraine is one of the 14 ex-Soviet republics.
The craft is basically very simple. NO PREVIOUS ART EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. Practice is the main ingredient. According to legend, the more eggs made in a year, the better luck you will have. Isn't that reason enough to get going on some eggs? I've written this course so if you want to follow along using only crayons, markers or colored pencils and using the print out paper eggs, you may.
The basic supplies for this craft will cost approximately $10 to $15 (depending on which kit you purchase). You will learn meanings of colors and symbols appearing on the egg as well as new words to accompany your new skills. Finished eggs make beautiful gifts and sell in gift shops anywhere from $10 to $150, depending on the skill of the artist. Welcome to Ukrainian Eggs!
In How To Make Beautiful Ukrainian Eggs participants will learn the history, legends and craft of making Ukrainian eggs. Students will read through the lessons and assignments several times. They will decorate eggs following the instructions if they have the materials needed and if they don't, they can print out paper egg shapes and use crayons, markers or paints to follow along.
Students should have at least a tenth grade high school reading level and bring a sense of adventure concerning learning new skills. No previous art experience is needed. Beautiful eggs will come with practice. Expect to create your own style if you can't or don't want to stick with the traditional designs. The point is to have fun and learn an age old art form. You will need a course notebook, pen, pencil and eraser and a pencil sharpener. If you are not going to use the Ukrainian egg kit, you may use crayons, markers, pastels, or paints to work using paper egg shapes. These shapes will be provided in the lessons to print out.
A list of supplies will be given at the end of Lesson 1 as well as a supplier company. A basic Ukrainian eggs starter kit will cost approximately $12.00 - so figure on spending under $20 with shipping and handling. You can go through the entire course to learn the knowledge and buy your kit at a later date. And of course you'll need eggs! Start saving glass jars with wide mouths and a stack of newspapers.
