September 29 – October 4
As usual, fall means Fiber School, where we hold Yarn School and Felt School back-to-back, with a nice helping of Dye Lab in between.
You can enroll in just Yarn School, just Felt School, or take them both and get a FREE (!) Dye Lab session, huzzah!
Yarn School (9/29 – 10/2)
Dye Lab Extension (10/2) FREE when you enroll in both Yarn School and Felt School!
Felt School (10/3-10/4)
Deposit is 50%. Fiber School students (taking both Yarn School and Felt School) get first grab at private rooms, but use the waiting list option if you’re doing just Yarn School and would prefer a private room. If any are available at the end of August, I’ll contact you by registration order.
Artist Cheryl Toh is returning this fall for her GET WAXY Encaustic Painting Workshop October 20 – 23, Thursday – Sunday (with check-in Wednesday night). Cheryl is the organizer as well as the teacher, so see the workshop page for the class syllabus, details, and registration information.
Discover the infinite applications of this ancient art form for painting with pigmented wax. This intensive workshop offers a comprehensive approach for working both traditionally and experimentally with encaustic.Become proficient with the key elements of the medium; paint application, manipulation and fusing methods. Work with a variety of techniques including layering, scraping, scraffito, texturing, stencils, pouring, dipping, collage, the incorporation of mixed media and found objects to define your unique style. Work on various substrates (paper, board, fabric, etc) as you become adept in working with this versatile medium. Encaustic formulas, color mixing, supports and grounds, studio safety and the use of various tools will also be covered.
Personalized instruction, encaustic supplies, tools and equipment, room & board at the Harveyville Project are included in the workshop fees.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity to discover new techniques and applications with wax. Artists working in most any medium (drawing, painting, mixed media, fiber, clay, sculpture, etc) benefit from the exploratory, hands-on nature of this workshop. Beginning participants as well as those who have experience working in the medium, gain skills and techniques from the personalized instruction.
