Photo + Encaustic: Ethereal Markings and Monochrome - 4 days
|
Peninsula School of Art, Fish Creek, WI
June 20-23, 2023 ConceptThis workshop is designed for both painters and photographers interested in gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their studio practice through the combination of encaustic, collage, and black and white photography. Explore a range of subject matter, paper rusting techniques, and methods for mixing media to create dynamic hybrid artworks. ExperienceDemonstrations introduce you to the basics of encaustic painting and digital printing, while hands-on practice explores ways to further alter monochromatic imagery with mark making. Begin by utilizing various methods of underdrawings to bring in pattern and additional detail to the work, such as wood burning tools, inks, oil paints, and encaustic. Focus is placed on incorporating embedded photo prints on thin papers such as tissue and Japanese papers, as well as image transfers to create final work that is both ethereal and richly detailed in its layers. Individualized feedback is provided throughout the week. Skill LevelSome prior experience in drawing, painting, and/or photography is required. Prior encaustic experience is not required. |

Paper Printing Alchemy: an intro to eco-prints
Shake Rag Alley | Mineral Point, WI
July 21-23, 2023 This workshop is for the artist who loves the unexpected alchemy that can happen when a little time and some heat are applied to plants, flowers, and papers to make a unique eco-dyed print. We will explore the use of various prep methods for printing, as well as modifiers to change the colors of our final prints. Rust printing will be explored and even combined with our botanical prints to create an additional level of colors, textures, and details to a print. You will come away from the workshop with a treasure trove of papers that can be used in collage, book making, or even stand on their own as a beautiful finished botanical print.
