Creative Monotypes: No Press Printmaking with Encaustiflex 2-Day workshop with Janise Yntema, 10/15/21 - 10/16/21.
In this workshop, students will discover the infinite versatility of printmaking with encaustic monotype. Artists will be introduced to Encaustiflex™, allowing the layering of unique textures and effects towards creating image complexity - all without the use of a printing press!
This course will cover a variety of techniques including the use of suminagashi (Japanese marbling), image transfer, creating a resist, trace monotypes, and working with the gel press. You will explore the advantages of both encaustic and Pigment Stick® in developing intricate visual vocabularies through monotype.

Abstract, Expand and Excavate: Encaustic Painting Workshop with Joanna Kidney, 11/3/21 - 11/11/21.
This workshop is focused on developing ideas, content, and meaning through the medium of encaustic paint. There will be an emphasis on expanding your conversation with the paint, developing your personal vocabulary and vision. Studio time will combine plenty of painting time, demonstrations, discussions, presentations, and a strong focus on individual support. Field trips soak up the extraordinary North Mayo landscape - its light, history, archeology, and folklore - to feed back into the work.
The course content will include a review of techniques and tools (for adding/subtracting/manipulating layers) and media compatible with encaustic to paint such as R&F Pigment Sticks® and other drawing media.
