Altered Books (6th-8th grade)
16 - 20Jul2012
* Week-long summer class for rising 6th-8th graders *
Librarians beware! In this class, we will study the evolution of the book as an art object and look at some contemporary examples of altered books. Learn to dissect, tear, fold and cut books and bring them to life in a unique sculpture. You’ll never look at a book the same way again!
Each student is encouraged to bring a book of their choice (that they don’t mind getting completely torn up) to further personalize their project.

Encaustic Mark-Making Workshop
30 - 01Sep - Oct2011
So you’ve figured out what “encaustic” means and tried your hand at it. You’ve got some of the basics down but want to take the next step. You’re drawn to the unique features of working in wax and want to experiment with mark-making techniques. This workshop is designed for those wanting intermediate - level encaustic instruction and will look at how to dig, scrape, peel, burn, carve, rub, melt, push and pull the wax using various heating tools and things you can find around the house.
Description: This Friday/ Saturday workshop includes 10 instruction hours and all the supplies you’ll need to create a couple of finished pieces. Provided for your use during the workshop: wood panels, mark-making supplies, heating tools, brushes, tins, colored encaustic medium, a hot plate and table space.

Registration: Only 4 spots available! To register please click the “Buy Now” button below. Payment is made through Paypal only. Tuition in full is required to hold your spot in the workshop.
Cancellation: If for some reason the workshop needs to be cancelled (not enough people signed up or family emergency) the full amount will be refunded through Paypal and email notification will alert you to the cancellation and any rescheduled workshop dates.
What to bring: If you’d like to be able to personalize your artwork, I suggest bringing along some mixed media elements (photographs, paper scraps, string, etc) or your favorite encaustic colors (please bring them in tins). The supplies I will have available will be varied, but bringing additional items from your own stash will ensure you can create something that’s interesting and appealing to you. You may also want to bring a lunch on Saturday. There are not many places to eat near by, but there is a microwave and small fridge available for your use.Supplies: Extra supplies will be for sale throughout the course of the workshop. Full encaustic kits, medium, brushes, tins, oil paints and tutorials will be for available. Because we buy wax in bulk we are able to offer encaustic medium and wax at a significant discount from what you will find in any art supply store in the area. Bring cash or checks if you want to take advantage of the chance to build your own supply and keep working after you go home!
Please note: this is not a beginner-level encaustic workshop. Some familiarity with the process and beginning techniques is required to ensure the satisfaction and safety of all workshop participants.
