Learn about the iconic Baltimore art of screen painting and create a screen to adorn your home.
The Baltimore painted screen was not art for art’s sake. It was a very practical solution to the close quarters of row house living. It afforded privacy and air circulation. This course will provide an overview of the history of the painted screen folk art and profiles of some of the iconic artists. We will paint a window or door screen to adorn your home. Your home will be the talk of the town!!!!
The wonderful thing about painted screens is you do not have to be a trained artist to produce a wonderful, decorative screen for your home. We will go step by step through the process and you will be thrilled with the result. Come prepared to have fun!
