SOLD OUT Decorating eggs for Tapestry Farms college fund

Ewelina Bergert came to the United States from Poland as a teenager to study. Now married with two children, serving as a co-department chair and associate professor at Black Hawk College, Ewelina had an idea of how to support Tapestry Farms students directly.

Two years ago, Ewelina, who also serves as a board member of Tapestry Farms, started raising money for a college scholarship for refugees and asylum-seekers headed to college.

On Saturday, March 14, Ewelina and friend Xenya Mucha, whose family is from Ukraine, will offer two sessions of an egg decorating workshop to raise money for the scholarship fund. The morning session is sold out - a few tickets for the afternoon session remain. The workshops will be held at Tapestry Farms, 121 W. 12th Street, Davenport.

The traditional wax resist process involves several stages of tracing designs with wax and dipping the egg in different colored dyes. Each participant will leave with new knowledge and one finished egg. Class size is limited to 20 participants. Pre-registration is required. For ages 8 or older; ages 8-11 must be accompanied by an adult. The cost is $35, with proceeds going to the college scholarship fund.
