Pennsylvania German Scratch Egg Workshop Saturday, March 14, 2026 • 12:00 PM–3:00 PM Just in time for Easter, join BHC Museum Curator Amber Vroman for a hands-on Pennsylvania German Scratch Egg Workshop! Scratch eggs are a traditional folk art form in which designs are carefully etched into the surface of naturally dyed eggs, revealing intricate patterns and vibrant contrasts. This centuries-old practice was popular among Pennsylvania-German communities as a way to celebrate spring and Easter with beautifully decorated eggs. During the workshop, each participant will receive multiple naturally dyed eggs to create their own scratch-egg masterpieces—keepsakes to cherish for generations. Attendees will also have the opportunity to view historic scratch eggs from the BHC collection, providing inspiration and a deeper appreciation for this unique Pennsylvania-German art form.
