Workshops for December

Encaustic basics FULL

Description: In this introductory class we begin with safety, the most important component in learning encaustic. We address ventilation, correct working temperatures, and the proper use of equipment. I will explain how to make your own of encaustic medium and paint, appropriate supports and how to make a traditional gesso ground. I will show you how to size a panel, the many different ways to apply paint, fusing options, how the paint looks at full strength versus glazing, and focus on how to achieve a smooth surface.

You will learn how to treat the edges of your panels, control your work through different fusing techniques, control your brush strokes and learn a variety of methods of drawing into and onto your work. Techniques include incising, filling, scraping, drawing and creating texture.

All materials are included.

Though I will provide with things you can bring if you wish to personalise your work.

Encaustic: Next Steps FULL

Description: Wax is the perfect ground for inclusions and transferred imagery. I show you a variety of transfer techniques using carbon paper, carbon pencils, graphite, charcoal,, and toner based images. Learn how to collage paper and fibre into your work. Add bling to your work through the use of metal leaf.

 All materials are included. 

Though I will provide with things you can bring if you wish to personalise your work.
