MY TOP PICKS
Plastered in Wax (6 hours)
Date: Friday, August 26
Time: 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
Technique: Collage/Assemblage
Instructor: Trisha Baldwin Seggebruch
I profess encaustic to be a perfect partner for many other mediums. Plaster is one of those mediums! In this workshop we will use patching plaster to create a foundation on which to apply encaustic. Whether in a two dimensional form or building up to a three dimensional sculpture plaster and wax get along very well and bring a whole new life to encaustic possibilities. We will experiment and take time with plaster before working in wax over individual creations.
