Class Description

Get ready to scratch, slash and stipple using a multitude of tools from Awls to Zippers! Within this 4-hour class, you will re-envision everyday objects and learn how to make incredible marks with them. You can channel your inner Madonna as you "express yourself" using lines and color. Paint and fuse your encaustic layers while adding dramatically carved lines and gouges. Accentuate your marks using other materials including: encaustic paint, oil paint, pastel or graphite. Melissa Stephens delivers demonstrations and hands-on instruction, plus you will have plenty of time to play and experiment. Every student has the opportunity to create up to 3 new paintings. No previous art experience necessary. Must be 18+ years of age.
