In the morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Emily will be teaching Grain Painting. Learn some of the history of early Pennsylvania grain painting, along with images depicting a wide variety of techniques. Then experiment with various combs and tools to create your desired pattern before graining an 8×10 wooden frame. Each person will leave with a finished frame, complete with glass and instructions on how to frame artwork properly.
The fee for this workshop is $75 for members ($85 nonmembers). Includes materials.
Emily’s afternoon class is Fraktur Letters and runs from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Learn how to use pen and ink to create an elaborate calligraphic capital letter in the Fraktur style of the late 1700s. Choose a simple pattern to jump start your letter design and learn from historic samples in order to make the piece your own.
All supplies are included. The fee for the Fraktur Letter workshop is $85 for members ($95 nonmembers).
