Dive into the colorful world of Pennsylvania German fraktur in a hands-on workshop at the new Center for Pennsylvania German Studies in Trappe, Montgomery County, Pa. Taught by Lisa Minardi, the workshop will provide a detailed overview of Fraktur from A to Z. Participants will learn about the materials, tools, and techniques used to make fraktur; how to identify the many different types of fraktur and the artists who made them; and how to use fraktur for genealogy or historical research. The workshop will include a close look at over four dozen fraktur and include tips on how to distinguish historic examples from modern fakes. The workshop will be on Saturday, Feb. 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Dewees Tavern, located at 301 W. Main Street, Trappe, Pa. Advance registration is required. The workshop is limited to 12 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. If the program sells out, a second date will be offered later this spring. The workshop fee is $100/person, which includes museum admission, special tour of the Center for Pennsylvania German Studies, plus fraktur presentation, handouts, and workshop.
