Funky Found Object Canvas Village

Friday June 20th 10 am - 5 pm

Cost $115 by 6/13 or $125 after 6/13 Plus $10 kit fee payable to instructor the day of the workshop

*Lunch will be provided

In this workshop we will create our very own imaginary village using a variety of techniques to build thick deep layers on canvas.

We will use paint, paper, fabric, fibers, found objects & gel to create amazing depth & dimension. Learn many new tips & tricks including how to obtain a beautiful encaustic look without using messy hot wax & crock pots.

Please join us for a fun, relaxing day of inspiration & art making!

This is a project oriented workshop. You should be able to leave with at least one finished canvas, 3 if you work fast!

*If you have dietary restrictions, you are welcome to bring your lunch. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the premises.
