Learn the Art of Theorem Painting at Landis Valley!
Saturday, June 28, 2025 | 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Location: Museum Store – First Floor

Step back in time and explore the Early American art of Theorem Painting, a decorative technique that flourished in Colonial New England during the early to mid-1800s.

In this hands-on class, participants will use a series of pre-cut stencils to apply oil paint to cotton velveteen fabric, creating a portrait that appears hand-painted and is perfect for framing. Frame not included. All materials are provided, and each attendee will leave with a completed artwork and a deeper appreciation for this unique folk art.

Design by Jean Hansen Publications, Middlebury, Connecticut.
