About this Event
4-day event . Suitable for beginner and experienced artists alike.
Includes supplies ($120 value and taxes)
Immerse yourself in the evocative, layered, and story-telling possibilities of photographs secreted beneath the dreamy depths of encaustic wax in this four-day workshop. Explore techniques to print, distress and alter inkjet, LaserJet, fabric- and professionally-printed photos, so they possess the qualities of both photograph and hand-painted fine art. Bathe your photographs and prints in sweet-smelling beeswax, learning encaustic techniques to transfer, colour, fuse, alter, glaze, smooth, texture, highlight and gild images.
Students will learn encaustic fundamentals: studio set up, safety, tools, techniques, materials, and more and complete five paintings and several sample boards. Students can bring their own photos to personalize their work.
Class size is limited to 8 students for personalized attention.
All supplies provided by instructor with the exception of cradled wooden panels, to be provided by student or purchased for a nominal fee from instructor.
Light snacks and drinks provided.
