More information including a detailed powerpoint on the process at: https://archreactor.org/project/pysanky-eggs
Please plan on a minimum of 3 hours to make an egg. There's a lot of "waiting time" in this craft, thus it's easy to complete two eggs in nearly the same amount of time as making one.
Not suitable for younger children.

About Our Hackerspace
Arch Reactor was founded in 2009 by a group of friends who liked technology, programming, making, and pizza. Now St. Louis' largest hackerspace, Arch Reactor's growing membership continues to bring new skills, projects, equipment, and people to one place.
For a deeper understanding of what we're about, you should check out our explanation of hackerspaces, perhaps read about one of our members' projects, or (best of all) come meet us in person at the next open event!
