Encaustic Workshop
by Linda Benton McCloskey on 3/24/2009 12:10:22 PM
I just wanted to share last night’s encaustic demonstration at the Howard County Arts Guild in Elliott City, just outside of Baltimore, Maryland.
First of all let me say - what a beautiful facility! The guild is actually housed at the Howard County Center of the Arts which was founded in 1993 as a non-profit, volunteer organization that promotes art education and appreciation in the local community. Not only do they have a grant program, but many adult and children classes and workshops are held in visual art, theater, music and ballet plus other specialized workshops and summer camp programs. It also houses two galleries. I know everyone who lives in the region realizes what a gem they have in the Center! The building itself is a renovated former elementary school building. What a wonderful use of a building that would normally have been demolished.
I have included several photographs of the encaustic demonstration. My host, Cher Compton, President of the Guild, could not have been more welcoming or gracious. All who attended left with a new appreciation of the encaustic medium. Such excitement and enthusiasm! If you haven’t observed an encaustic demonstration, you are missing out. Never have I used a medium that is so receptive to all other mediums - dry pigment, pastel (both dry and oil), watercolor, charcoal, oil, collage and mixed media. There was so much excitement about the encaustic process that the Guild plans to sponsor an encaustic workshop this coming September or October. Some photos are below.
