Learn how
to create a collage entirely with beeswax - no other glues or adhesives are necessary!
You’ll discover and practice techniques including layering, transparency and
wax stamping. Some supplies will be provided for basic collages, but feel free to
bring your art box (with scissors, glue, brushes and any kind of paint), your
favorite images and ephemera as well to personalize your art. Any images you
bring should be on regular computer paper, or Xerox. The
thinner
the better, (reduce and enlarge these to have choice in scale) Glossy photos won’t
work well with this process, but fabric, stencils and small 3-D object work
great!

Encaustic (hot wax) painting is an ancient medium, first used by the
Greeks, that has gained popularity with contemporary artists. A permanent and
non-toxic medium encaustic often results in exquisite, luminous painting
effects. Daily demonstrations are followed by hands-on studio practice. Learn
about suitable grounds supports, encaustic materials, combining encaustic and
oil sticks, tools for surface incising, and stencils. This intensive course is
designed for all levels of beginning, intermediate, and advanced painters, as
well as those familiar with encaustic. The returning encaustic student will be
guided to develop and expand upon a personal style and theme, resulting in an
integrated body of work. Tuition covers all encaustic and oil stick materials,
and supports.
