Preparations for the Easter celebration at the Prekmurje Model Farm took place on Tuesday, 19 March 2024
We prepared an Easter egg painting workshop using the Batik technique. This technique is considered traditional in our area – applying the motif to a blown egg with a special funnel containing beeswax, heated over a candle flame. Once the wax is heated, the motif can be applied to the blown egg. Then we paint the egg red. We retrace the red Easter egg with wax – the pattern applied to the red-painted Easter egg will remain red. After applying the desired motif to the red Easter egg, we also apply the black paint. The result is a red and black Easter egg.
Every single one of the workshop participants had shown great interest. We’ve created gorgeous Easter eggs! But pictures are worth a thousand words!
