In this workshop led by Emily Smucker-Beidler, participants will learn what birds were prevalent here in southeastern Pennsylvania in the 1700s and find connections through Fraktur images. Learn where the polka-dot, checkerboard and various striped patterns came from that we now enjoy in Fraktur.Then, participants will be shown some “tricks” to drawing their own fanciful birds in the Fraktur style, as well as adapting patterns from original, historic works using light boards. They will then complete a small, 5×7 Fraktur bird. All materials are included, with enough to take home with you and continue creating once the workshop is over.
Ages 13-100 and all ability levels are welcome. Fraktur is for everyone!
The cost is $60 for members ($65 nonmembers) and includes all materials except watercolors. Students can bring their own watercolors, or buy a set from Emily for $20.
