“I have been doing this craft myself since I was about seven years old,” said Kathleen Koch, whose family owns the Polish Art Center locations in Cedar and Hamtramck, a traditionally Polish neighborhood of Detroit. The Hamtramck shop has offered these annual egg decorating classes for nearly 30 years. This is the third spring of classes at the Cedar location.
