TLC - Creativity in Bloom: Egg Painting Workshop

In April, The Learning Current hosted two colorful and joy-filled Egg Painting Workshops, led by artists Anne Marie Humm and Anne Flint. The programs brought together participants of all ages—including children from Harvest Schoolhouse—for creativity, community, and hands-on fun.

Anne Marie and Anne guided the group in exploring a variety of egg-painting techniques. Participants had the chance to design and decorate not only real eggs, but also wooden, cardboard, and styrofoam eggs. This variety allowed for endless creative expression—whether painting delicate patterns, experimenting with bold colors, or adding whimsical designs.

The workshop became a lively blend of art and laughter as children and adults worked side by side. The younger artists brought imagination and playfulness, while the older participants shared stories, tips, and encouragement. Together, the group created a beautiful collection of eggs, each one unique and meaningful.

While the activity centered on painting, the morning highlighted the deeper value of art as a way to connect. The workshop fostered collaboration, patience, and joy, reminding us that creativity is a gift best shared. For all of the artists, it was also a chance to practice fine motor skills and learn how different materials respond to paint.

By the end of the workshops, tables were covered with vibrant displays—each egg a small piece of art, reflecting the personality and creativity of its maker. Participants left not only with keepsakes but also with memories of time spent in community, celebrating the beauty of spring and the joy of making something together.
