Country Painting, with Anne Dimock
Monday, September 27, to Friday, October 1: 9 A.M.–1 P.M.
Member $250; Nonmember $300

The Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century brought about an explosion in the use of tinware. Virtually every household utensil was made of tin, and painted tinware would be found in most New England homes. Women and girls decorated tin objects using quick and lightly flowing brushstrokes reminiscent of those used on English pottery. Students will learn the brushstroke, the foundation of country-tin painting, and complete an 8" x 10" corner-cut tray.

All materials included. Maximum class size: 8

Anne Dimock studied with Dorothy Hutchings at the Historical Society of Early American Decoration and has been a member herself since 1975. Anne’s specialties are painted country tin, reverse painting on glass, and stenciling—all of which she teaches in her studio in Trumansburg, New York, and in seminars throughout the Northeast.
