People have been fascinated by the shape of eggs for thousands of years – from carving repeating patterns into egg shells, to raising egg statues; from inspiring paintings, to turning them into jewellery.

Across history and cultures, the perfect curved egg shape has been celebrated as a symbol of life.

In this class, I invite you to learn with me how to draw a perfectly shaped geometric egg using a ruler and a compass. The pattern can then be extended into an egg mandala on a circular grid. This project can be used as your own rendition of a spring or Easter greeting card.

I am also going to teach you how to construct a Magic Egg Tangram – a type of a dissection puzzle which has captivated humans since ancient times, to create multiple patterns from a set of geometric pieces.

This course is suitable for absolutely anyone who wants to have fun drawing and decorating geometric patterns.
