Highlights Of Colonial Arts And Crafts
The colonial times were one of the most fascinating and important in American history. Colonial arts and crafts serve as a creative reminder of this exciting time. Many antique and art fans enjoy collecting colonial arts and crafts, or at the very least reproductions of them. If you are a parent, it's likely your kid has or will bring back home some of their own inventive reproductions of creative work done in this historic period of time. Whether you are a significant antiques collector or simply need a small something to highlight your home, colonial style pieces are an ideal choice.
There are a variety of crafts from which you can choose. Silver smithing, needlepoint, wood carving and glass making are examples of commonly practiced artistic trades during colonial times. Colonial silversmiths created gorgeous vases, bowls, utensils and coins, while wood carvers and furniture makers crafted everything from tables to bed frames to childrens' toys. Needlepoint and embroidery were feminine pursuits. The women of colonial times created wall hangings, clothing, quilts and more using their talents.
Glassmaking was an important trade in colonial Jamestown. To this date you can travel to this significant location to see glassmakers recreating the work done by the first colonists. Today, glass is blown into amazingly creative and colorful pieces. Placing a few colorful glass pieces around your home can make quite an impact. In colonial times, glassmakers centered more on practical pieces like window panes, bottles and vials, vases and basic drinking glasses than on objects d'art. These days, glass is often fashioned into items that are not only functional but beautiful as well.
If you're a parent looking for a creative activity for your child, teach them how to make a colonial craft. Perfumed pomanders are simple to make and were frequently presented as Xmas gifts during colonial times. An orange pomander, as an example, is just an orange with perfumed cloves inserted into the skin in an ornamental way and hung on a platted wire. Silhouettes are also an easy-to-do craft that was popular during colonial times. Try checking out an arts book from the library or book shop for more concepts. One good title is The Heritage Sampler : A Book of Colonial Arts and Crafts by Cheryl G. Hoople and Richard Cuffari.
