We’re hosting artist Cheryl Toh‘s GET WAXY Encaustic Painting Workshop next weekend (Nov. 4-7, Thursday – Sunday). The workshop page for the class syllabus, details, and registration information.
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.
