SALVAGED MEMORIES - THE ART OF PHOTO ENCAUSTIC

I am drawn to the the lost, the forgotten, the torn and yellowed items of the past. I find there is beauty in these forgotten ephemera and I love the story that is created when they are brought together with paste and sealed with wax.

Come create your own story in this Salvaged Memories Encaustic Class Friday night (2 hours) Create your collage using found and handmade papers and ephemera as well as your own personal memorabilia (optional). We will be creating some of the papers we will use in our collage and Donna will then guide you in how to create your collage. (we will let the collage dry overnight before adding the encaustic layer) (NOTE – it isn’t necessary to provide 3your own documents etc as Donna will also be providing vintage papers in your provided collage packs)

Saturday 10-3:30 (includes lunch break) Donna will guide you in adding layers of beeswax (encaustic medium) as well as more collage layers, images and other compatible media into your collage.
