On Saturday, October 26, 2013, from 10 am to 2:30 pm resident
artist Katherine Clancy will lead a workshop in encaustics at Artisans at the
Dahmen Barn in Uniontown.
Encaustics is an ancient medium dating back to the early Egyptians. A medium of beeswax, damar and pigment are melted and then applied in the liquid form to a wood surface. Metal tools and brushes can be used to manipulate the wax surface. Other materials can be collaged into the surface. You do not need to be an “artist” to work in this medium, it has limitless possibilities. Students bring collage materials of their choice and a heat gun if they have one. The cost is $55 which includes all supplies for creating two encaustic pieces. Registrations are required by October 23. Call 509-229-3414 or use the online form at the top of the calendar page at www.artisanbarn.org to register.
