| The Mennonite Heritage Center, 565 Yoder Road, Harleysville, announces a Fraktur Drawing Working scheduled for September 25, 2010 from 9 am to 3 pm. Fraktur was created by Pennsylvania Germans during the eighteenth through the mid nineteenth centuries and features calligraphic text decorated with colorful birds, hearts and flowers. The tradition has its roots in the illuminated manuscripts of medieval Europe but evolved into a distinctive part of the local Pennsylvania German culture. Today, those who appreciate this colorful folk art enjoy drawing their own fraktur designs based on the work of the early fraktur artists. Registration is required as class size is limited. The class fee is $55 ($50 members) plus a booklet fee of $8 in addition to the class fee. To register, contact the Mennonite Heritage Center via email
