It's not too soon to be thinking of Art and Soul Retreat
here in Portland OR, April 7-14! We have a great lineup of classes for
you. Below is information about the classes I'll be teaching. Be sure to
check out the Art and Soul Class List for more information and registration.
Monday,
April 7, I'll be teaching an all day workshop called "Papers
Wabi-Sabi." Below you'll find a video with examples of the kind of
hand-decorated papers you can create in this fun and informal workshop.
Monday evening we'll make a "Strange Little Book."
Create a quirky, unique little book using mostly recycled materials--no stitching involved! In this fun and informal class you'll use weird things like bizarre found photos, old teabags, coffee, old and odd book and magazine pages, old embellishments, and miscellaneous do-dads. You'll use cold connections to fasten the pages together in your own eccentric way. You'll love the lovely and unusual little book you leave with!
Tuesday, April 8, I"ll teach an evening class called "Waxing Literary with Charlotte."
I’m excited to share with you how you can make a rich and mysterious work of art by waxing an old book and incorporating a Frozen Charlotte doll. You’ll make a 3-D art piece with encaustic medium, oil paint, found objects, vintage papers, and embellishments. You’ll learn how to incise, carve niches into the waxed book, and color the wax. You’ll also learn how to add an aged or gothic touch to your work. You'll leave with a unique mixed media work of art!
Wednesday, April 9 will be an exciting all day encaustic class, "Mind Your Own Beeswax."
I hope to see you here in Portland in April for one of the most inspirational and friendly retreats around!

| Encaustic Painting: A Full Cup |
The
translucent qualities of the encaustic wax medium and paint create
depth, mystery and complexity. Fall in love with the whole ball of wax!
You’ll learn to make encaustic medium and encaustic paint, use collage
and photo transfer with encaustic, and add 3-D embellishments in this
fun and informal class. We'll incise, add oil paint, cheesecloth,
specialty papers, and more. Whether you are new to encaustic or an old
wax hand, you’ll discover something new while minding your own beeswax!
You'll leave with several painting and/or collages and all the
information you need to get started on your own!
