Drawing onTradition:SilverpointBefore the advent of
the graphite pencil,
styluses containing
various kinds o metal
were used as drawing
tools. One o the most
enduring of these was silver. Silverpoint, as this medium
came to be called, has been employed by artists rom the
Renaissance to the present. Silverpoint drawings are created
by stroking the surface of a specially prepared ground with
sterling silver wire. Time and patience are required to build up
value, but the result is a sensitive rendering that possesses a
timeless quality. Participants in this workshop will experiment
with silverpoint on a variety o suraces (including one they
will prepare themselves) and will learn how to highlight
and tint elements o their drawings to emphasize relevant
eatures. Fee: $270 member, $325 non-member. Prerequisites:
