The Guild was formed in 1991 to promote and share the knowledge of ancient and modern forms of eggshell artistry using natural eggshells. The craft of egg decorating is only limited by one’s imagination. Jewel boxes, bells, chess sets, music boxes, cake toppers, clock surrounds… the list goes on! You can use eggs as a canvas for painting, ribbon embroidery, and diamond dots. Their artists create carved and intricate cut eggs, hanging eggs, eggs in eggs and multiple egg structures. There is no limit to the range of techniques for decorating eggs. They meet every two months at the Craig Family Centre, located in Ashburton, Vic.
