Have you ever wondered about Silverpoint? Have you ever even heard of this antiquated medium?
 
Silverpoint is a centuries old form of drawing popularized by Early Renaissance masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Leonardo Da Vinci. The medium is similar to that of graphite but produces a much more controlled, long-lasting, and fine line. So how can Silverpoint look so beautifully delicate and yet be so meticulous? Come by for an afternoon of drawing and discussion to find out!
