Virtual Demo: Leslie Giuliani on Printmaking with Encausticflex
Our fourth virtual summer demo is coming up! Join R&F Core Instructor Leslie Giuliani for Printmaking with Encausticflex on Wednesday, June 30 at 1:30 pm Central Time (CT). Leslie will cover a variety of encaustic and Pigment Stick® printmaking techniques that don’t involve a press, including pulling monotypes, as well as working with silicone sheets, gelatin plates, cut foam stamps, cardboard, and Dura-Lar stencils. Encausticflex is a super absorbent microfiber paper that can hold a lot of paint without building surface texture. Learn how to layer and build until something meaningful sparks.
Please note: If you are not in the Central Time zone (CT), you will need to convert your timezone in order to figure out what time the demo is taking place. You can use thetimezoneconverter.com to do so.
