| COLLAGE WITH ENCAUSTIC MEDIUM |
| Judith Hoyt |
| Course Description |
| Artists and creative persons of any background will enjoy this three-day hands-on collage with wax workshop. Using found, new, and recycled paper and other materials we will design and create collage adding a final layer of wax to get a tremendous variety of surface qualities. We will look at and discuss the work of other collage artists such as Romare Bearden, Kurt Schwitters, Rauschenberg and others. Topics covered include basic materials and tools, safety, archival use, supports and grounds and various encaustic techniques such as image transfer, surface texture, layering, and adding oil paint to the surface. Imagine a beautiful ground of collage papers, layers of wax and a drawing floating in the wax above the collage. |
