LEVEL: Beginning & Experienced
(most students opt to take the comprehensive workshops first)
3 1/2 Days with a Thursday night orientation and gathering party
TBA
Using the Roland Hot Box, this workshop focuses our attention on printing on paper with pigmented beeswax. One of a kind wax paintings on paper are created by painting directly onto the hot plate, using pigment bars, brushes, silicone subtractive tools, wooden print blocks, stencils, and more. Prints can be single-pass images which leave areas of the paper open, or they may be overprinted many times creating layered depth of color. We will explore working with different temperatures, different types and sizes of paper, creating paper translucency, full bleed prints, prints using separate plates, and cold composition.

On the final day, we will introduce mixed media elements and different types of mark making implements. This is also an opportunity to work on projects, hone your skills, and work a little larger.
