Woodgrain Painting Techniques

In the 18th century, softwoods were false grained to mimic expensive hardwoods often not available and the technique soon evolved into a folk art form.  Participants will learn how homemade paints and tools were used to create finishes as varied as the minds and hands of imaginative folk artists.  During this workshop, you will learn to grain paint and apply this technique to a softwood 5×7 picture frame and a mini blanket chest using acrylic glazes.  NOTE:  Cost of workshop includes frame, chest, and necessary supplies, students must register no later than March 24.
