ENCAUSTIC PAINTING (16 and up)
WEDNESDAYS, 5:00 - 8:00 PM
September 25th through December 18th
Learn all you need to know to create art using one of the most versatile mediums available for artists today, offering many exciting and creative possibilities! After a brief history, and review of safety practices, students will start a series of hand-on projects, on an on-going basis. Along the course I'll introduce you to contemporary artists who currently use this versatile medium to open up discussions and expand your creativity. We will work with encaustic techniques including brushing, pouring, dipping, incising, stencil, collage, image transfer, encaustic monotype and more.
This class is perfect for the artist who wants to adapt particular encaustic technique(s) to expand your unique visual language while working on a new body of work or series, as you'll be able to work on your own with guided instruction as needed.
All encaustic paint, medium, tools and collage material will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own "toner" photocopies, dried organic materials, special papers, drawings, stamps, stencils, other media, as well as found objects that you may want to incorporate into your works. You may also bring bisque-fired, unglazed clay pieces.
We’ll use encaustic paint, all sorts of paper, pastels, watercolor, stamps, pigment sticks, inks, powdered charcoal, alcohol inks, found objects, encaustic monotypes, and more! No experience necessary, as you will learn at your own pace as we go along, with individual attention as needed. This way you can focus on finishing the projects that interest you the most. Most materials included.

SUMMER WORKSHOPS AT CORINA'S STUDIO
MIXED MEDIA, WAX AND THE ARTIST BOOK
Choose your weekend:
Saturday - Sunday, July 27 - 28 or August 3 - 4
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM each day
Level: open to all levels
In this two day workshop students will learn the process of using, altering, and re-purposing the elements of a book. Students will create their own book pages using plaster, papers, and natural materials. The process will also focus on incorporating the medium of Encaustic to make the pages stronger and give them a beautiful sheen, shape, and dimensionality. We will create two book structures –an accordion book and a book made of plaster pages. Both will explore different mixed media and encaustic techniques.
The Artist Book is a work of art within the traditional confines of a book. It allows the artist the freedom to transform it and give it a new voice. Not only serving as texture, the text serves as inspiration for the artwork itself. The written words and visual images, original to the book, intertwine with the artist’s inner thoughts to create his/her one of a kind narrative.
All levels welcome, whether you are a beginner to the book arts and/or encaustic painting.
Students are encouraged to bring personal
items, such as their own photographs (printed on toner based copies), imagery, twine,
ribbons, natural elements (dry leaves, sticks…), old books, or any other materials they would
like to incorporate into their creations.
Cost:
$250 (some materials included)

Cost:
$350 (includes materials)
Relief and Textural Effects with Mixed Media in Encaustic
Corina's signature Weekend workshop
Saturday - Sunday, August 17 - 18
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM each day
Level: This workshop is open to students with an intermediate to advanced level of encaustic experience.
Learn
how to incorporate clay, joint compound and plaster cloth, as well as
other materials to add depth, texture, and relief to Encaustic painting
in this two-day workshop.
DAY
ONE: starts with a talk and demonstration of various techniques followed
by a hands-on session in which to apply these techniques. Using
terracotta (earthenware) clay, and joint compound to lay down a ground
on a porous (unsized) paper surface. You will use this ground to create
relief on which to design various textures, marks and strokes. You will
also create 3-D shapes that will be attached on to your panels on the
following day. It will all be left to dry overnight. Time permitting we'll experiment with tar, and grout, as well as paper-clay, as other means to add texture and relief to our works.
DAY TWO: You'll start by attaching the 3-D shapes on to your panels
while the wax heats up, and continue by painting your prep substrates,
experiencing the different ways that wax can enhance its surface.
You will be encouraged to use mixed media elements to develop your
concept and push your limits and possibilities. The use of Encaustic
media will add to the multi layered and textural aspect of this work.
We will wrap up the workshop with a round table discussion and critique. By developing an awareness of the possible textures and layers that can be incorporated to the use of Encaustic medium, this workshop is designed to increase the ability to create, see and respond to a textural surface that can be incorporated into your works, despite your personal style.
