Fitsell. Students will play with color by floating paints on the
surface of thickened water and then picking up the paint with either

transfer and the pure joy of spontaneously creating! Students leave
this workshop with yards of finished fabric suitable for collage,
quilting or clothing.

Jean Haefele Mixed Media Collage
Express your vision and develop your own artistic style with the limitless possibilities of mixed media. Combine and alter, everday paper and objects, natural aterials, and paint to create unique, one of a kind, representational and abstract artwork. We will discuss getting ideas, the selection and use of materials, color, texture, and patterns, composition and how to bring these elements together in a coherent way. We will view several artists work to illustrate the varied and individual results.
The class will offer hands-on learning and exersises on preparing backgrounds, composition layout, several "magic" techniques for altering everday papers, applying the materials, combining paint and, lastly, some toning and finishing methods to unify and complete a work. Individual attention will be given wherever possible and the student should be able to complete several pieces.
Supply List
Surfaces: 4-6 total. Canvas board, illustration board, heavy watercolor paper (your choice or a combination) Suggested sizes; 6x9, 9x12, 12x12.
A few practice sheets for experimentation.
Brushes: A 1" flat and a few of your favorites
Paint: 2 oz. or larger Golden or Liquitex Fluid Acrylics, include Titanium White or Titan Buff, Black, and a few others in transparent hues.
A small selection of craft acrylics (good for more opaque colors)
Additional: Matte medium, gesso, soft gel
3 or 4 Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water color soluble crayons (I love light blue, orange, red 7500.070 and black)
Paint palette, water bucket, Viva paper towels, at least a 12" ruler, pencil, scissors, old credit card
4 or 5 sheets of tracing paper
White tissue paper
An assortment of rice, handmade textured papers, and used dried tea bags
Enlarged photo copies of your favorite photo image (eg. I photocopied my image of African women to use along with handblocked fabric
scraps found on the ground in Ghana to use in a 12 x 12 piece...Images were enlarged to about 8 1/2" in order to fill the space nicely)
National Geographics, 1990's work best
Visual ideas to work with: birds, animals, people, flowers, leaves,etc....whatever interests you.
Misc. stash: Found papers, rusted metals, ephemera, magazines, old books, foreign text, old postage stamps, print origami paper, foreign paper money,
old letters. This list can go on and on. You'll find that the more you work in mixed media, the more you accumulate.
"road ditch " finds are already weathered and have a patina hard to achieve...corrugated cardboard, wrappers, genuine rubble. One can always
throw it out later.

Encaustic Workshop with Patricia Seggebruch
Come play in beeswax! Encaustic Workshop
Join us in this extravaganza in beeswax! Experience the joy and versatility of this
rich, organic medium as Patricia teaches you the core encaustic techniques such
as collage, image transfer and incising so that you will be primed to build on
these with all of the endless possibility in the medium.
The diversity of this medium offers the artist opportunity
to include all mediums and build on skills related to other creative outlets
like no other medium can. You will want to be doing everything encaustic! Delving
into alternative foundations and materials like plaster, tar, woodicing,
PanPastel and alcohol inks and shellac will happen as well~
Demonstration and hands on painting and experimenting is
what this workshop is all about. With
amply time to play in the wax, ask questions and develop a strong sense on what
is possible in the medium, no one will go away without a fever for encaustic!
Supply list
While the main body of
encaustic painting is based on beeswax, much can go into it! I will supply the wax, encaustic colors and
the heating materials for use with encaustic so that you do not have to be
concerned with investing in materials before you know what it’s all about! I also bring a small selection of collage
materials and carving tools but you will have to bring your personality as
well! That is, collect collage material, interesting carving tools or objects
to press into the wax that will leave an interesting impression, image or photo
transfers and what ever other ephemera you want to throw into the wax!
($10.00 supply fee/day)
Supplies to bring:
Surfaces to paint on-encaustic needs a rigid and absorbent
surface- encausticbord or unprimed, birch art panels or plywood is recommended-no
larger than 8x10 (6-10 total)
Paper towel
Wax paper for wrapping completed painting for transportation
Latex or rubber gloves
Things to bring to personalize if you have them! Class
materials for these will be available otherwise~
Carving tools
Razor blades, scrapers, palette
knives, pottery tools, cookie cutters-any metal that will cut into or carve the
wax
Impression makers
Screen,
hardware, natural materials, scrapbooking stuff
Collage material
Old
paintings, decorative papers, fabric, yarn, string, wire, beads
Image transfers
zerox copied images of photos,
numbers, words
(Be sure in using words/numbers
that you print off in reverse image-this is necessary for the transfer. Also,
the copy must be a zerox copy or a laser printer image, not ink jet-copy your
ink jet images) black and white or color-bring both
Oil bar or oil paint
Found objects or natural elements (rusty metal, dried
leaves, sticks, cones, wire)
