This exciting workshop will bring together several methods to create beautiful, layered artworks that can be both a photograph and a painting. We’ll explore color mixing to give you "Color Knowledge as Color Power" while developing imagery with a focus on using photographs as collage. This process involves printing photographs on lightweight tissue paper and embedding the images in the encaustic medium. We’ll also explore image transfers and simple methods to edit your images to combine with wax. Layers can be created by using oil sticks and paint to add pigment above or below the photographs for color and depth. There will be lots of one-on-one feedback and support to help you create a body of work, gain confidence, and expand your voice with encaustic.

The focus will be on creating imagery and expanding your voice with encaustic. Artists will build images layer-by-layer combining images printed on tissue paper and image transfers. You will gain confidence by pushing boundaries with individual feedback and inspiration.

We will also explore some of the many wonderful galleries and museums nearby - from over 250 and take a day trip across the border to visit Colmar, a beautiful and traditional Alsatian town in France.

"Jodi is a fantastic instructor. She was proactive and responsive from the very beginning, supplying studio directions and notes in advance of the class, and making everyone feel like welcome guests in her studio. She is also highly organized, sharing some art history, a great syllabus, and a detailed supply list should a student wish to set up his/her own home studio. Her demos were engaging, informative, and fun. Jodi also left plenty of time to play and explore with the generous amount of encaustic materials available-- and everyone in my class completed at least three finished pieces during the session! There is guided instruction, with Jodi available to answer questions; yet plenty of room to fulfill your own creative vision without the instructor hovering/helicoptering. Overall this was an engaging, creative experience in a beautiful studio space, with a wonderful instructor. Thank you, Jodi!" Dana M.

This essential encaustic workshop will encompass several unique techniques to create beautiful, layered paintings rich with texture and translucency using your photographs. Images will be printed on tissue paper and used as collage. We will focus on color-mixing and transparency while developing your imagery.

The process involves printing photographs on light-weight tissue paper and embedding the image with encaustic medium. Image transfers and working with printed photographs will also be explored. Keep the momentum going if you have taken a workshop with me before!

Beautiful, transparent layers are created by adding oil pigment sticks and paint above or below for color and depth. Editing your photographs to print large with low-tech software and apps will also be covered. You will be contacted ahead of the workshop to submit your color or black and white photographs to be printed ahead of time. All levels welcome with lots of one-on-one studio time to create and develop a body of work. The focus is on gaining confidence and expanding your voice with encaustic.
