Instructor: Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch Class Code: PS101 Workshop Fee: $375 Medium: Encaustic Date: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 14, 15 and 16, 2010 Time: 10am-4pm each day Join us in this extravaganza in beeswax! Experience the joy and versatility of this rich, organic medium as artist and author of "Encaustic Workshop", Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch, teaches you the basics then builds on these to excite you with numerous techniques that will get you doing everything encaustic. The diversity of this medium offers the artist opportunity to include all mediums and build on skills related to other creative outlets like no other medium can. Demonstration and hands on painting and experimenting is what this workshop is all about. With ample time to play in the wax, ask questions and develop a strong sense on what is possible in the medium, no one will go away without a fever for encaustic! Supply list: While the main body of encaustic painting is based on beeswax, much can go into it! I will supply the wax, encaustic colors and the heating materials for use with encaustic so that you do not have to be concerned with investing in materials before you know what it’s all about! I also bring a small selection of collage materials and carving tools but you will have to bring your personality as well! That is, collect collage material, interesting carving tools or objects to press into the wax that will leave an interesting impression, image or photo transfers and what ever other ephemera you want to throw into the wax! Wood on which to paint-I recommend Ampersand Claybord smooth in assorted sizes, or hardware store plywood in assorted sizes. I will be working on claybord smooth 8x8x2 cradled boards. No larger than 8x10 or we won't have enough wax! I recommend at least six boards. Small hake or hog bristle brushes if you will choose to paint in detail-I just have large flat brushes for use. Carving tools: Razor blades, scrapers, palette knives, pottery tools, cookie cutters-any metal that will cut into or carve the wax. Impression makers: Screen, hardware, natural materials, scrapbooking stuff. Collage material: Old paintings, decorative papers, fabric, yarn, string, wire, beads. Image transfers: Zerox copied images of photos, numbers, words. (Be sure in using words/numbers that you print off in reverse image-this is necessary for the transfer. Also, the copy must be a Zerox copy or a laser printer image, not ink jet. Copy your ink jet images) black and white or color-bring both. Oil bar or oil paint. Found objects or natural elements (rusty metal, dried leaves, sticks, cones, wire), Paper towel, Wax paper for wrapping completed painting for transportation, Latex or rubber gloves. |
