Let your creative juices flow in this amazing workshop in Walnut Creek where you will learn how to make stamps using recycled materials, stencils using Gelli plates and encaustic boards. Discover how to utilize objects from nature, or stencils, to create detailed patterns and designs.
You will experiment with Gelli printing plates and simplified monotype techniques and introduce them to create incredible encaustic paintings. Gelli printing is the art of adding paint and stencils onto a gelatin plate to stamp patterns onto fabric or paper.
All materials including stencils, pigment sticks, paper, encaustic paint, brushes, and Gelli plates will be provided for you. No previous art or encaustic experience is necessary for this class.
Walk away with beautiful artwork to display in your home or office, or give them as gifts to family and friends. This class will make for an engaging day learning something new and creating original artwork!
This class is great for a team building activity, birthday or bachelorette party.
This would also be a nice gift for her, gift for mom, anniversary gift or birthday gift.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I received my BA from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, and continue my arts education though workshops and specialized instruction. Currently living in Walnut Creek, CA, I am an encaustic painting instructor, working artist and advocate for the arts. In 2020, I co-developed a virtual gallery and developed a YouTube channel called The Encaustic Edge. I also started a business coaching artists, at all levels in their careers. I serve on several art boards, volunteer at galleries in the San Francisco Bay area, and host live and virtual encaustic demonstrations.
Encaustic is an ancient artform that originates with the Greeks and Egyptians. Layers of molten beeswax and a blow torch are my idea of a good time!
Through the years, I have discovered how fulfilling it is to teach the art I love to make. It is my pleasure to feed people’s creative appetites, give them new knowledge and share ideas. My artwork has been exhibited in Turkey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, Washington, New York, and California, and I have collectors around the globe.
