There were two days full of color and craft at the egg painting workshops held by the ethnologist and museographer Sebastian Paic-Apan in Luxembourg in March 2026.
Participants in the workshops RoKultur they had the opportunity to learn signs and meanings, as well as waxing techniques, and at the end of the workshops they went home with small works of art. Sebastian Paic-Apan's stories have taken us to ancient times, we learned why Romanians paint eggs, what happens to eggshells after Easter, what are the meanings of some of the signs on eggs.
Sebastian Paic – Apan founded in 2011 ‘Zestrea’ Association, where he trains disciples in crafts such as: the painting of Easter eggs, the painting of icons on glass, the encrusting of wood, the making of traditional masks, opinci, cysts.
In order to complete his egg painting technique Sebastian Paic conducted field researches in Țara Lăpuşului, Bucovina, Vrancea and Țara Bârsei. The painting craft was learned from Professor Ioan Sorin Apan from Brasov. One of the approaches he currently emphasizes is the promotion of the variety of egg models scattered from different regions (Ţara Bârsei, Țara Lăpuşului, Oltenia, Bucovina and Bihor).
We are glad that you were part of this experience and we hope to see you again soon!
