Encaustic, "Some like it Hot"
2-day workshop: February 8th, February 9th 9:30 am - 12:30 pm / 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Class Level: Intermediate - Advanced Instructors: Don Maynard, Su Sheedy This 2-day encaustic workshop is all about experimentation. Don Maynard and Su Sheedy will share some of the tools and techniques that they have developed over their careers. Working with simple hand tools and excavation techniques, this class will focus on processes that build and destruct the surfaces to achieve remarkable and unique effects. We will take a hands-on approach to a number of projects intended to lead to the discovery of curious cause and effect relationships.Create and construct substrates that will take your painting to another dimension. Techniques include: painting and fusing on panels to build up layers of colour; carving, scraping, and 3d collage to create sculptural elements; embedding elements; pouring in multi-coloured layers. Participants can expect to come away from the workshop with a unique collection of both two and three-dimensional objects. This class is best suited for intermediate to advanced students, with a desire to expand the horizons of both the materials and their own technical repertoire. The class has been postponed. We will be updating the next class soon . |
