Adult | Wax - Hot and Cold | All Levels
Members: $575 | Non-Members: $615
Course ID: 2D2509
*This workshop must meet a minimum number of students by May 20, 2025.
Concept
This workshop is designed for students who enjoy process and seeing how far they can push and manipulate materials. The versatile materials of encaustic medium and paints act as glue in collage and assemblage, but with the added characteristics of transparency, texture, and layering capabilities when applied to paper. Take a deep dive into the exploration of working with encaustic paints, pigment (oil) sticks, collage applications, and other forms of mixed media with encaustic.
Experience
Begin by creating your own papers for collage with inks and other water-based paints before moving into monoprinting with encaustic on paper to create even more luminous layers within your work. Demonstrations introduce the basics of encaustic painting, including workspace setup and equipment safety, as well as various techniques for applying paper to the surface at various layer points. Ample working time provides hands-on practice and one-on-one conversations with Sarah address thematic and aesthetic concepts.
Skill Level
All levels welcome. No prior encaustic experience necessary. All paints, tools, and some shared papers/materials are provided. See supply list for additional required supplies.

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.
