MAY 2, 9, 15, & 23 From 2:30PM to 5:00PM
This is a 4 week all levels class. Students will be guided through creating expressive landscapes using encaustic wax and mixed media. We will be using encaustic techniques such as inlays, photo transfer, layering and embedding leaves or images, whilst also incorporating various textures and materials such as fabric, paper, sand and found objects. Acrylics or watercolor will be used for under painting and for backgrounds. We will use photos as base references, students are welcome to bring their own as inspiration. We will capture the essence of the landscapes and turn them into our own imaginary worlds. Students are welcome and encouraged to bring objects and materials they’d like to incorporate into their paintings. Anything from found objects to fabrics or pressed flowers. Although all materials including 12” round art boards will be provided, if students would like to bring a particular painting/ drawing medium they’d like to use, they are welcome to do so.
Hazel Griffiths is a multidisciplinary artist working across digital and physical media, with a focus on encaustic painting which has been her primary medium for the last ten years. She uses mixed media elements and layers of wax to create textures and organic shapes to form atmospheric landscapes, treading the path between the real and the imagined. Hazel’s work is rooted in a fascination with environments, both constructed and remembered, which includes a creative detour into developing narrative-driven virtual reality spaces.
$300 total for 4 days. $70 total for materials collected on first day.
If there is another class happening earlier in the day, I’m prepared to move the class up a bit if necessary.
