Description

Would you like to learn the ancient decorative art of drawing beautiful, lacy filigree patterns, updated for today? Here's your hands-on introduction to the traditional decorative technique known as filigree, often used to "dress up" decorated capitals and create lovely borders in manuscripts and other fine art pieces, from the Middle Ages to today. We will start from scratch, with NO previous experience required. If you can trace a simple outline, you can do this! Once we have covered the basics, we will be expanding into additional filigree patterns and variations, and will also explore the mysteries of one of the most frequently seen decorative elements in historical manuscripts: the puzzle letter!
WHO: This class is designed for adults and mature adolescents.
PREREQUISITE: NONE.
