Stencils in Encaustic Workshop | Saturday, January 25
Description
Let’s start off the new year by loosening up and work with a different material: stencils!! Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Saturday, January 25 from 10 am to 4 pm for a day of learning to create art in encaustic with stencils.
Stencils come in all kinds of designs and can make an interesting background or a strong focal point. They can encourage creativity and are just plain fun to use.
We’ll start by talking about both stencils and masks, their differences, and how to effectively use them with hot wax. There will be a variety of heat-tolerant stencils to work with, but if you have any favorite ones, bring them along. As always, there will be demos as well as ample time for individual work.
Workshops have been filling fast and space is limited, so you won’t want to miss out. And sign up early to get the early-bird price! The cost is just $145 until January 17 or $175 for later registrations.

Encaustic Open Studio | Friday, December 6
Description
Wax on! Join visual artist Candace Law in the studio on Friday, December 6 from 10 am to 4 pm to work on your own projects with encaustic. As a bonus, she will be talking about what a home setup would be for encaustic. There will also be a couple of used palettes and some materials available for purchase at rummage sale prices.
What It’s About…
The Open Studio gives you an opportunity for independent work, with an instructor available for questions and assistance. You should have some experience working with encaustic and want time on your own to work with the materials, tools, and techniques.
But if you are new to this wonderful medium, there is a place for you, too. The instructor can work alongside you and provide a hands-on experience in one or two techniques you might like to try.
What to Bring…
The equipment, as well as some supplies and materials, are provided. You may bring your own items and materials to incorporate into your artwork, as well as your own larger panels or unfinished pieces to work on. If you want to start a new project, smaller panels (up to 11×14) will be available.
Space is limited, so you won’t want to miss out—the cost is just $145.

Call for Entry Workshop Series
Description
Join Maus Haus Gallery for a hands-on workshop on submitting and presenting your artwork for call for entry opportunities.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this workshop will provide you with valuable insights and tips to help your work stand out. Have you thought of submitting artwork for Call for Entries? What is a Call for Entry Exhibition? What are Jurors looking for when I submit a piece? How do I submit the proper file for a Call for Entry? How do I prepare my piece for display at the gallery?
If you have ever asked yourself one of these questions, then this workshop series is for you. This workshop is designed to help you to understand what galleries are looking for when they place a Call for Entry, what not to do, what jurors are looking at when selecting a piece, and how to properly prepare your work for display (if chosen).
This is a three-day series:
The first day will go over basic information on what a Call for Entry is, how it can benefit you as an emerging artist, and how to select your work appropriately.DONE- The second day will discuss file format criteria, what not to send when submitting your work, and hear from a few jurors about what they look for when choosing artwork. Participating as jurors will be Chris Schneider, Cheryl Barill, Anna van Schaap, Michael Ross and Clinton Snider.
- The third day will discuss why presentation is important, you will bring a piece to prepare for display as if accepted into a show and will wire the piece properly. For 2-D pieces, such as photographs or paintings, a frame will be provided to demonstrate accurate information. We will then have a mockup gallery set up to demonstrate the importance of proper mounting and display and what your piece can look like when on a gallery wall.
You can come to both remaining days or just choose which day is best for your needs.

Description
Join visual artist Candace Law at the Grosse Pointe Artists Association Studio on Saturday, October 12 from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm for a day of learning to create art with encaustic.
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.
An opening review and warm-up exercise will bring everyone up to speed before the class begins to explore the many textures and surfaces you can create with hot wax.
Be ready to be intrigued.
Some of the things we will cover in this workshop:
- Basics of encaustic: process, materials and supplies
- How to work safely
- Physical vs. visual texture
- Warm up by priming, painting and fusing a small panel, then on to a medium-sized panel
- Creating texture with paint (accretion), tools and other materials
- Demos, one-on-one with instructor and plenty of individual work time
All equipment, paints, brushes and panels are provided. You do not need to bring anything except an apron and a willingness to experiment!
To make your work more personal, feel free to bring small items, such as decorative papers, found objects and other ephemera. Reference photos can be helpful.
