Encaustic Monotype Magic with Sarah Rehmer

Fri-Sat, June 24-25 | 9am-4pm

Tuition: $325

Concept

Using heated palettes, richly pigmented beeswax-based paints, and a variety of paper types, create one-of-a-kind prints directly from plate to paper in this two-day workshop. This technique allows for expressive mark-making, layered transparency, and unexpected textures that can't be achieved with other mediums.

Experience

Spend the first day learning about plate preparation, working with temperature and various tools, making stencils, layering colors, and pulling multiple impressions from a single plate. The second day continues with further exploration of printing and drawing on various paper types, cutting apart and reassembling prints, and more.

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.

Skill Level

Perfect for beginners curious about encaustic, as well as experienced artists looking to expand their printmaking vocabulary.
