Description: 
This introduction to scrimshaw will share historic and contemporary uses of scrimshaw.

Students will create samples engraving traditional mark making like hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling. Once students feel confident in the foundational skills, she will demonstrate mixing inks as well as material specific techniques including polishing. Students will leave with not only the fascinating knowledge of scrimming, but also some samples and a fun project to wear. Students are encouraged to bring their own materials like bone to scrim on!

A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

Cathedral of Learning

In fact, this place has nothing to do with the church, or we can only say that its appearance is like an ancient European cathedral. This is a teaching building, but it is very magnificent and beautiful, and you can go in and take a look inside.
