Silverpoint Workshop | March 20, 1 - 3pm

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!

Who: The Peggy Society. This session is led by alumna Suzy Storr (2011).
What: A brief history of Silverpoint followed by a chance to make your very own Silverpoint still-life drawing.
When: Sunday March 20 at 1 PM (Duration: 2 hours)
Where: Alvarez Fine Art Services Inc., 29 W 36th Street, #1102.
