Silverpoint Drawing Workshop - June 28.

On Sunday June 28 the Remsen Street Studios will host a Silverpoint workshop with CT artist Banjie Getsinger Nicholas. A silverpoint drawing is one in which the drawn line is created with a thin silver wire held in a stylus. A specially prepared surface is necessary to provide sufficient abrasion to remove silver from the tip. This surface can be achieved through a variety of methods on a variety of substrates. Values are created with patient cross hatching and layering of strokes rather than application of pressure which may tear the paper. Over time the drawing oxidizes to a warm glow characteristic only of this medium.  Other metals used traditionally are copper and gold, each leaving a mark with slightly different color and oxidizing characteristics.

The workshop will run from 10am - 4pm with a lunch break. The cost is $75. with all materials included. A $40. deposit must be received by June 15 with the remaining balance due on the class day. A min. of 6 people are needed for this class with a max of 12. For a workshop overview please email Jon Gernon a JonGernon@gmail.com.
