More Than Just A Decoration

You often go one time to each destination, so you have to experience the most of it. This is your exclusive invitation to unlock the secrets of a craft so authentic, it has recently been protected by UNESCO!

The Moldavian Secret:

This is much more than just decorating an egg; it's a sacred tradition with deep roots stretching all the way back to pre-Christian times.

Every single line, color, and symbol you carefully etch onto the natural goose egg is a piece of storytelling, carrying powerful meanings like protection, fertility and abundance.

The secret lies in the wax-resist (batik) technique. You will work with a master artisan who will guide you through using a special tool called a chisita to apply melted beeswax. This wax acts as a shield, protecting the colors as you dip the egg into natural dyes in layers.

The most awesome part is the reveal: you gently warm the egg to melt the wax away, which exposes the stunning, multi-colored design beneath. It's a transformation that is simply unforgettable. This immersive experience provides all the materials, expert guidance, and local treats for a truly cozy and engaging time.
