Polish Holiday Eggs
Stevens Point, WI

Kim Swedowski.  Photo by Michael Knoll.Kim was born in Mosinee, Wisconsin to Polish immigrant parents who kept the language and traditions of their homeland alive. Kim learned the art of Nalepianki, decorating eggs using paper cut-outs, from her mother as a way to celebrate Christmas and Easter. In a presentation, Kim displays her eggs and explains the traditional symbols and the innovative designs she has created. If the group is advanced enough, she can teach the process of dying the eggs, basic cutting, and how to paste the cut-outs.
