Concept
This workshop is designed for both painters and sculptors interested in gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their studio practice through the combination of encaustic, collage, and dimensional materials. Explore a range of subject matter and work methods to create wall-based works with dimension.
Experience
Begin with backgrounds and underpainting/marking methods. Collage and assemblage materials are discussed broadly as a group, with ample time for one-on-one discussion with Sarah. Discuss a variety of assemblage methods for securely attaching 3D elements. Each day builds on the demos and skills from the day prior. The final day of class is left as open work time with individual questions and troubleshooting.
Skill Level
Beginners and above. Best suited for those with some basic art making experience, and requires the use of some hand tools and drills.
SUPPLY LIST
INSTRUCTOR
After working in encaustic for twenty years, Sarah Rehmer is still hungry to find new ways to push and manipulate the material. She encourages her students to learn and make work with an equally open and curious mind. With Sarah as your instructor, you can expect to learn hands-on and try everything at least twice. When not in the studio, she is usually out hiking the trails of a state park. Sarah earned her BA in Graphic Design and Photography from Dominican University and teaches workshops around the country.
