Frakturs are associated with German immigrants who settled
in Pennsylvania, Shenandoah Valley, Va. & West Virginia,
Ohio and the Carolinas. The decorated papers were often
Awards
of Merit, House Blessings, Marriage & Birth Records and
Valentines, Love Knots or
Labyrinths.
In this class students will complete a Love Knot
fraktur, copied from an original, on antiqued paper. You
will faux grain a 10 x 10 frame for your Love Knot fraktur.
The love-knots make great anniversary, engagement or wedding
presents. The techniques that you will learn in this class
can be adopted to boxes, framed pictures, ornaments, cards,
tags, etc. I will bring samples, pictures and patterns,
and you will be able to complete several projects.
* Please
note that watercolor paint will be used in this class
(clean-up is so easy!)
Lab fee: $35
Includes paper, a frame for
graining, paints & glaze for grain painting, color photo,
tracing, and typed instructions.
A supply
list will be sent with class confirmation. |
