Getting schooled in Fraktur art: discovering the appeal of the PA Dutch art form

While I knew next to nothing about fraktur art, I knew it seemed familiar. Between the extraordinary calligraphy and the eye-catching images, the artwork scattered around Lancaster County just has something about it that makes it memorable. As a summer intern from out of town, I didn’t know much about fraktur — I didn’t even know its name — so when I got the chance to take a Fraktur Imagery class at the PA Guild of Craftsmen, I couldn’t pass it up. Not knowing anything about fraktur made the course that much more enticing. If I was going to be in Lancaster County, I figured I better learn some of the things that make it special, including the diverse, colorful and whimsical folk art of the Pennsylvania Dutch.

5 unusual classes at the PA Guild of Craftsmen in June

Here are 5 unusual classes coming up at the Guild this month. All workshops are at 335 N. Queen St. Registration for workshops can be found on the Guild’s website, pacrafts.org, by clicking on a class page and selecting “Register Now.”   With the “magic” of bundle dyeing and eucalyptus leaves, students will create a unique pattern on a silk scarf. The class is divided into two sessions: the morning session will consist of putting the scarf together, placing it in the dye bath and a discussion of the process. Instructor Carol Reed will also guide students into printing local flowers on paper to make cards. Students will have two hours of free time while the scarves are dyeing and at 1:30 p.m., the scarves will be removed from the bath for the “big reveal.” Students will leave this course having dyed a natural, one-of-a-kind scarf.
