    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
