If you or anyone else you know is interested in having a group of 10 to 12 or even individuals.. I will give 4 hour workshops at my home through out the year. It doesn't only have to be the Easter season. I will start in February, 2003 through the 3rd week of April since Easter is April 20th this year..

The workshops vary in price according to the number attending.

A 4-hour workshop for 1 person would be $40

for 2 - $75

for 3 - $100

for 4 - $130

...and for 5 - $150

Fees include not only your tool to take with you, but take-home papers with instructions and helps along with all the supplies used to give this classes. (Plus a small lunch!)

Girl Scout, boy scout or home-schooling groups must have a minumum of 10 for a smaller fee. A one hour demonstration done outside my home (within a reasonable distance) is $45 traveling plus gas expenses. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me.. or call at (513) 829-8296.

I will also have eggs available for sale and would be glad to sell them to you and send them wherever you wish. Again.. just email me.. and I'll discuss the prices. If the egg is more intricate, the cost will be higher. I also have goose eggs available that I can decorate.
