Design
a Rug with Fraktur Inspiration
Welcome
to the class where we will explore the “artists” who illustrated family
documents and taught the schoolchildren in the early 1800’s in
Southeastern, and Western Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ontario, Canada and
the Alsace Region of France.
Your interest in
enrolling in this class is important to the direction I can concentrate
our time together. Look over the ideas below and supplies list.
Consider a
design concept in advance. Coming with a blank slate is great too.
Let me suggest ideas: wedding, birth, house blessing (simple messages);
monogram; biblical story; floral overall design; geometric and organic
shapes. |
