Hands on History - "Uncovering Art with Scratchboards"

  • Des Plaines History Center 781 Pearson Street Des Plaines, IL 60016 United States (map)

Scratchboard art is a unique way of creating artistic engravings, where the artist scrapes away a dark layer of ink to reveal a colored layer below, creating beautifully detailed and precise pieces of art. We’re exploring this unique art technique this month by creating our own scratchboard art with recycled materials!
