Fraktur: Tips, Tools, and Techniques for Learning the Craft

Create charming birth certificates and house blessings by mastering the decorative writing of the Pennsylvania Dutch—a folk art that lives on.

These include birth and marriage certificates, family trees, bookplates, awards, and house blessings. Leading fraktur artist Ruthanne Hartung adapts the craft to modern tastes and needs in this practical how-to book, with information on tools, step-by-step instructions, ideas for design, lettering and coloring techniques, and a variety of projects. An assortment of traditional patterns to apply to personal frakturs are included.
