ENCAUSTIC AND PIGMENT STICK WORKSHOP
with Shawna Moore
Saturday and Sunday
February 20 and 21, 2010
9:30 am – 4:30 pm
Fee: $265 materials: $25
For this workshop we will simplify the encaustic studio and the process of painting. Using thin coats of encaustic paint (wax) applied with bigger brushes and high quality pigment in stick form, we will “trap” our marks, drawings and mistakes under layers of wax to create rich and dynamic images. Learn how to create smooth, depth filled paintings involving abstract and landscape imagery. We will cover the basics and the buildup of depth and texture in an abstract painting, explore landscape imagery, and experiment with collage. If you are new to encaustic painting, don’t worry, we will cover the basics to get you started and then begin adding design, image and additional media to the process.
Shawna Moore is an established, professional painter and encaustic artist living in Whitefish, Montana, with exhibits in galleries in Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, and New York. Anchored by the use of color and the immediacy of art making, Moore has spent the past 20 years developing and refining her artistic process and intention. Her art integrates elements of painting and drawing, and reflects both her education in architecture and fine art, and her inventive and experimental nature. Expect stories, wisdom teachings and lots individual attention to bring out your own expression using the incredible materials and techniques of encaustic!

fee: $172 materials: $38
This is the same as our popular 6 week class rolled into a weekend workshop! Learn to make your own jewelry using basic metalsmithing techniques including cutting, soldering, and finishing of metal. Students complete a jewelry project from sterling silver while learning to cut, file, texture, sand and polish metal. Turn your ideas into wearable jewelry. A great class to take as a foundation for other metals classes and workshops.
