Pennsylvania German Easter Egg Decorating Workshop

Saturday, March 21
Times: 10 to 11:30 am, 12 to 1:30 pm, and 2 to 3:30 pm

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a hands-on Easter tradition! Discover the rich history behind Pennsylvania German scratch-decorated eggs, then learn how these beautiful eggs were traditionally dyed—using onion skins to create warm, rustic tones. After exploring historic examples for inspiration, you’ll decorate your own egg using scratch techniques. Each participant will receive two pre-dyed eggs to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home.

All tools are provided.

Tickets include admission to the the Center for Pennsylvania German Studies in the Dewees Tavern to see our special display of Easter eggs from the Pennsylvania Folklife Collection, part of the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College.

Location: Visitor Center behind the Muhlenberg House, 201 W. Main St. Trappe, PA

Cost: $20 Members, $25 Non-Members. Includes 2 eggs. Boxes for eggs may be purchased on-site.
