🥚 Tradition That Connects Us – Međimurje Black Egg Workshop
Dubrava Cultural Centre invites you to a traditional cultural event that presents Easter customs through various egg‑decorating workshops, featuring techniques and motifs from Croatian, Slovenian and Ukrainian heritage. Workshop leaders and keepers of intangible cultural heritage will demonstrate distinct traditional ornamentation and time‑honoured methods of writing and colouring Easter eggs.
One of the workshops focuses on the Međimurje black Easter egg (“črna pisanica”), known for its deep black background and rich floral motifs, recognised as a valuable element of Croatian traditional heritage.
