Encaustic Workshops with Andrea Bird - May 29 &/or May 30

 E-mail

Present, 2010.  encaustic, collage, phototransfer, roots, rust. 13" x 13"

Beginner & Advanced Encaustic Workshops

-with Andrea Bird (www.andreabird.com)

Saturday, May 29 and/or Sunday, May 30, 2010

10 am to 4 pm

at Factory 163 in Stratford

These two one-day workshops will introduce students to the luscious, versatile encaustic medium. Hands-on exploration of layering with encaustic medium (beeswax and damar resin) & collage leads to unexpected, spontaneous and often beautiful results. We will focus on fusing in a variety of ways: the use of the blow torch, heat gun, &/or iron to create different textures. Over the two days, many techniques will be explained and demonstrated, including: mixing colours with oil paint, collage, photocopy transfer, gouging, filling gouges, and much more.  It is possible to take both courses back to back, or only one (to take the advanced class only then previous experience is necessary.) The focus of the workshops will be on exploration with this wonderful medium, with lots of time for play and experimentation.  All supplies provided.  Bring a lunch and wear old clothes or an apron/smock.  Any questions? Call Andrea at 519-323-3437.  Class size is small, so register early to avoid disappointment.

Course fee: $170 for one day - includes taxes/supplies.

Course fee: $300 for both days - includes taxes/supplies.

Optional Supplies to bring: (only if student wants to and already has these items) - collage (paper, fabric, etc.) photocopies (made with toner), quick-start blow torch, lg. or sm.
