Folk Art Painted Wooden Eggs – Wednesday 18th March 2026 – Oxford

Description

Come and join me on my workshop for Folk Art Painted Wooden Eggs. These flat 11.5cm  x 15cm plywood eggs look stunning painted in soft Spring or Easter colours. Each has a hanging Hole and with a design inspired by Ukrainian folk art Petrykivka onion flower paintings it is the ideal next step to follow on from my Introduction To Folk Art Painting, or my other beginner friendly folk art workshops that were run in 2025. You will practice the basic skills learned in the beginners courses, along with some basic lettering techniques to produce a different painted design on each side of the egg. We will be using the DecoEarth 70% recycled paints fromDecoArt. There will be a choice of background colours to choose from either Dandelion Yellow, Coastal Blue, or Lavender, with the addition of Carnation Pink, Purple, Sandstone, White, and Moss Green to complete your design.

Venue:

Cumnor United Reformed Church Hall, Leys Road, Cumnor, Oxford

How to get there:

Cumnor United Reformed Church is about 100 yards into Leys Road at the west end of High Street.

By car

From the A34 at the Botley interchange take the A420 south signposted Swindon and then the second exit on the A420 to Cumnor after about two miles. At the end of the slip road turn right, then in a few yards turn right again at the T-junction onto the B4017, going over the A420 and left into Cumnor village.

Enter the one-way system past the Vine pub and continue into High Street with St Michael’s Church on your left. Go over the mini-roundabout taking the right fork; after three hundred yards there is a sign pointing to the United Reformed Church. Turn left from High Street into Leys Road – the Village Hall is on the corner. You will then see the church on the right-hand side of the road.

There are a limited number of parking spaces outside the church. Alternatively, there is a small car park behind the Old School in Cumnor behind the village shop.

Access to the hall is at the side of the church.

By bus

The nearest bus stop is Kenilworth Road. The hall is a 11 minute walk from the bus stop.
