Fraktur by Donna Selfridge Spangler
Paper
I became interested in the historic art of Fraktur as a hands-on way to blend two core interests in my life – art and history. The traditional designs of the 1700s are my inspiration.
To help ensure our traditional arts continue, I demonstrate at 18th century events, such as Landis Valley Museum and Fort Loudoun Market Fair. For many years I have been recognized as a Master Artisan by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and am listed in the Artisan Directory of Early American Life Magazine.
Fraktur has become, for me, so much more than art and history.
