A Guide To Colonial Arts And Crafts
The colonial times were one of the most interesting and vital 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 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 ordinarily practiced creative trades during colonial times. Colonial silversmiths made beautiful vases, bowls, implements and coins, while wood carvers and furniture makers made everything from tables to bed frames to childrens ‘ toys. Needlepoint and embroidery were female pursuits. The girls of colonial times made wall decorations, clothing, covers and more using their gifts.
Glassmaking was an important trade in colonial Jamestown. To this day, you can travel to this historic location to see glassmakers recreating the work done by the original 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. Nowadays, glass is sometimes fashioned into items that aren’t only functional but stunning too.
If you are a parent searching for a creative activity for your kid, teach them the simplest way to make a colonial craft. Perfumed pomanders are simple to make and were frequently presented as Xmas gifts during colonial times. An orange pomander, for example, is simply an orange with fragrant cloves inserted into the skin in a decorative way and hung on a braided cord. Silhouettes are also an easy-to-do craft that was popular during colonial times. Try checking out an arts and crafts book from the library or bookstore for more ideas. One good title is The Heritage Sampler: A Book of Colonial Arts and Crafts by Cheryl G. Hoople and Richard Cuffari.
