WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Over the course of two-full days dedicated to artistic creation, you will acquire technical expertise and collage composition skills while harnessing your creative intuition to craft a truly unique encaustic collage.

Traditional collage relies mainly on adhering paper to a surface using glue. However, encaustic collage elevates this art form by employing encaustic medium to fuse paper and occasionally three-dimensional assemblage objects. In this course, we’re taking it a step further, delving into the exciting world of encaustic monotypes to infuse your work with completely distinctive and original imagery. Think of it as collage on an unique creative journey.

If you have made any encaustic monotypes, please bring them. But if you don’t, fret not; we’ll dedicate a few hours to creating two mesmerizing monotypes that will become the heart of your collage work.

• Layering materials including paper, netting and silk

• Adhering various papers and encaustic monotypes

• Imbedding three-dimensional objects

• Applying oil stick, oil pastel, India ink and pan pastel 

• Useful tips working with different papers
