Product Description:

The Pennsylvania Dutch are noted for the beautiful hand-lettered and designed documents known as fraktur. These include birth and marriage certificates, family trees, bookplates, awards, and house blessings. Leading fraktur artist Ruthanne Hartung works with the mission to keep the craft alive by adapting it to modern tastes and needs, and she passes on the form in this practical how-to book, with information on tools, step-by-step instructions, ideas for design, lettering and colouring techniques, a variety of project, and more. A variety of traditional patterns to apply to personal frakturs are included in this book. It comes in a hidden lay-flat spiral binding for easy use.
