Encaustic Collagraph on Washi and Evolon - at CASTLE HILL
New Zoom Online Course at Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill
This is a specially designed workshop for artists interested in combining encaustic with printmaking. Employing techniques of painting hot wax on a plate by brushing, incising, scraping, stamping, and pressing reveals gestural marks and creates textures and depth in the final printed work. Exploring substrates such as Plexiglas and Yupo, participants will experience the variables of printing by hand on washi (Japanese paper) and absorbent fine art papers including Evolon. Innovative approaches will include shaped plates along with learning multiple color printing, transparent inking strategies, and chine colle applications. Both relief and intaglio methods will be addressed. Soy-based and water washable inks will be used throughout supported by discussions, illustrations that compare techniques, video demonstrations, and critiques of the work created. Artists who work with encaustic or ink are encouraged to broaden their studio practice by including this innovative fusion of wax and print.
This class is online with live instruction.
