Incising Marks in Encaustic at GPAA | Saturday, February 15

Description

Join visual artist Candace Law at the Grosse Pointe Artists Association Studio on Saturday, February 15 from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm for a day of learning to create art with encaustic.

This workshop is for artists who want to add to their creative voices by creating “marks” to express themselves. Whether you are new to encaustic or you’ve used hot wax before, this workshop is a great opportunity to learn from and work with one of Detroit’s best-known encaustic artists.

In the workshop, we will explore what kind of marks you would like to make and specifically how to incise or cut them into an encaustic surface. We will try a few different techniques, so you will be able to find the one that suits you.

All the supplies and materials are included, as well as an assortment of tools to use, as you experiment with the process.

The workshop agenda will include:

• Basics of encaustic painting, while working on a warmup panel
• Mark-making in art with a discussion of inscribing and inlays
• Demos, one-on-one time with the instructor and plenty of individual work time.

Artists new to encaustic are welcome, or you can use this session as a refresher. This is a great opportunity to meet and be inspired by other artists in our area.

All you have bring is an apron and a willingness to experiment; however, feel free to bring small items, such as decorative papers, found objects, or other ephemera that you would like to use to make your work more personal. Reference photos can be helpful.

You also might bring a bag lunch.

The cost is just $90 for GPAA members and $110 for non-GPAA members. Space is limited, so don’t wait—sign up today!
