Fanciful Fraktur Bird Workshop
- Categories: Workshop
For lo, the winter is gone……the time for the singing of birds has come!
Celebrate spring with a fanciful Fraktur bird drawing.
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,
