Join WSW in collaboration with
R&F Handmade Paints as we work
with two of the most fluid two-dimensional
art mediums. The first two days
of this class will be held at WSW,
where we will cover basic painterly
monoprinting, stencil, and transfer
methods, emphasizing a quick and
free pace of working, and experimentation
with a wide variety of printing
papers. We will consider these
prints as “elements” – items
that we will combine, layer and
compose to create images using
hot wax at R&F Handmade Paints
on the last two days.
At R&F Handmade Paints we will
learn various ways to work with hot
wax beginning with the basics of
traditional encaustic painting, including
an introduction to equipment, materials,
and health and safety issues. Then
we will move on to emphasize experimentation
with a focus on using our printed
elements. Participants will play
with heat, discovering how it affects
surface and texture through collage
and layering with wax, using its
inherent translucency to create works
with incredible richness and depth. |

Join WSW in collaboration with
R&F Handmade Paints as we create
handmade paper and encaustic works.
The first two days of this class
will be held at WSW in the papermaking
studio, where students will work
with cotton, abaca and flax fibers.
Once the basics are mastered, we’ll
investigate the potential of hand
papermaking. We will create papers
using a variety of hand papermaking
techniques including: layering,
imbedding, translucency and opacity,
stenciling, pulp painting, and
embossing.
Using these handmade paper elements
as starting points, we will spend
the last two days at R&F Handmade
Paints in Kingston for a wax-travaganza.
This session will begin with an introduction
to basic encaustic techniques. Then
students will create deeply layered
collages by working directly on the
handmade papers or mounting the handmade
sheets on panels. We will be saturating,
bending, burnishing, dipping, staining,
transferring, drawing, and carving
into this natural wonder. |
