New Classes: Monotypes & Wax Scrolls
Saturday, May 26, $175, All levels welcome
 These one-of-a-kind wax prints are made quickly and reward the spontaneous child in all of us, but you need to know a few techniques to control your wax and get the look you want.
In this process you paint directly on the hot palette and press paper onto the painting to pick up a unique print. What you end up with is a painting on paper with a very thin layer of wax and a very different look from anything you would paint directly onto paper or panel.
We'll start out with 5" x 7" prints, then everyone will be able to use my larger R&F palette to make larger prints as well. I'll also discuss how you can easily create monotypes at home using your pancake griddle an a special printing plate. More photos and register here.

 | Temp installation of scrolls in student Jane Porter's Garden

I love working with wax and paper, and the easiest and most dramatic way I've found to show that off is with waxed paper scrolls. Join me to create multiple panels of paper and wax that are thin enough for natural light to penetrate, filling your space with energy and movement.
We'll add color with paints, stamps and inks before we wax and keep adding color after the wax is applied. I'll demonstrate how to cut out parts of your panels for a layered effect and how to reattached what you've removed for added texture and shadow.
You need to use a different wax recipe for paper than with rigid panels so I'll give you my two favorite choices and explain why I would use one over the other for different situations. More photos and register here.
Remember, I only teach 4 - 5 students in each class so they fill quickly. Don't hesitate if you want a seat!
