Wood that has been painted
Wood and marble imitation are mentioned as subjects. Look at how colour, line and layering make a surface resemble something else, and ask which techniques are explained in the display.
Learning leaves traces
Exam pieces, diplomas and tools connect the examples to training. They offer a way into the question of how craft skill is practised and assessed, without you needing any painting experience yourself.
More than a paintbrush
Gold leaf, calligraphy and a collection of pens are also mentioned. The variety makes clear that this visit brings together different forms of precise craftsmanship.
Before you go
Access is via Museum Elburg and follows its schedule. The attic is not wheelchair accessible; discuss any limitations before planning a visit.
