Friday Art Walk
Carolie Ray Ediger, Batik Egg Artist, will be featured at Field to Fabric Quilt Co., 907 Main Street in Winfield on Friday, June 1 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Carolie was in 6th grade growing up on a chicken farm when an aunt sent her a pysanky (Ukrainian Eggs) kit one Easter. For her, that gift launched a decades-long fascination with the egg art. This ancient art form uses a wax resist process with multiple dyes; they are not painted eggs. The simple egg becomes a work of art by using timeless geometric patterns and delicate fine lines evoking the intricate beauty found in nature. She has begun to create fine pieces of wearable art from these eggs and will feature pendants and earrings alongside the eggs. Come to the Art Walk so you can meet and visit with the artist about this age-old craft.
