Adult | Wax - Hot and Cold | Levels 2-4
Members: $180 | Non-Members: $190
Course ID: 2D2510
*This workshop must meet a minimum number of students by May 23, 2025.
Concept
This fast-paced one-day workshop investigates the various ways to incorporate transferred images and drawings into the layers of your encaustic painting - all while focusing on the nuances of fusing to keep them intact during the process. Explore everything from laser-printed images to charcoal marks and drawings, as well as other encaustic-friendly materials; layering them at different points within a painting.
Experience
The day begins with a deep dive into what makes images successful to transfer and how to prepare the prints. Moving past digital-based imagery, experiment with hand-drawn transfers for more loose and organic shapes. Discussions and demonstrations address fusing and layering to achieve optical depth throughout the day.
Skill Level
Basic working knowledge of encaustic painting required. Designed for those looking to fine-tune their image transfer skillset. Paints, tools, and laser-printing provided.

INSTRUCTOR
After working in encaustic for over 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.
