Etching Dala Horses Workshop
Thursday, July 9
10:30am - 12:30 pm
Skill Level: Beginner to Advanced
Learn how to create your own Dala Horse through the art of etching! Originating from the Dalarna province of Sweden, the Dala horse began as simple wood carvings of horses done by farmers, and later developed into brightly-colored wooden sculptures adorned with painted floral designs. In this workshop, hosted by artist Callie Guyer, you will learn how to create some of the popular patterns of Dala Horses through the process of etching, which entails using a blade to scrape away the paint on a Breyer model to form intricate designs. In addition, you will also learn how to give your Dala Horses that extra pop of color by lining your etchings with paint! This session includes a Traditional Scale Breyer model.
Please note that this session is at the same time as Coffee & Canvases, Traditional Scale Carousel Horses, Yule Goats, and Draft Horse Show Halters.
