This class
is designed for anyone interested in the many aspects of penwork. There
will be techniques for the novice as well as those who wish to improve
their penwork skills. We will cover the basics such as how to hold the
pen, outlining the design, filling in the background and detail, and
scratching out detail. Preparation of the surface and the base coats
for inking, clean up and varnishing will be discussed and
demonstrated. A small amount of home work will be required before
class.

The project is not difficult
but it is time consuming. In order to achieve the quality of high
craftsmanship, the box cannot be completed in the time limits of the
three day workshop. However, our goal will be to complete the top of
the box and several sides. You will be able to leave the workshop with
the necessary skills and knowledge to easily complete the rest of the
box at home.
Lab fee: $45 includes a prepared box, instruction booklet, bibliography, pattern and templates and miscellaneous supplies. A supply list will be sent with your confirmation.
