In this workshop we will create our very own imaginary village using a variety of techniques to build thick deep layers on 8 x 8 canvases. We will use paint, paper, fabric, fibers, found objects & gel to create amazing depth & dimension. Learn many new tips & tricks including how to obtain a beautiful encaustic look without using messy hot wax & crock pots.
This is a project oriented workshop. You should be able to leave with at least one finished canvas, 3 if you work fast! Please join us for a fun, relaxing day of inspiration & art making!

A NoTe ABouT SuPpliEs
I bring plenty of images, ephemera & small found objects for everyone to use. However, I believe that it is important to have some materials to work with that you are familiar with & comfortable using. Therefore, I ask that you bring some images & ephemera that you love to work with. Also, we usually end up having a community pile for everyone to use, so please bring extras to share.
