This 1 day workshop will cover everything you need to know to start painting with wax!
In three hours, we will cover a bit of history and background, basic safety precautions, material information, and a dive into beginning techniques. After this intro we will switch gears into hands on making! Bring your sketch book, ideas, and questions. There will be a number of resources available for inspiration. You will go home with 2-4 paintings!
Meet the Instructor:
Karin Abromaitis discovered pottery in the early 1990s, then later added a number of media, materials, and methods to her eclectic range of art making. She finds that being able to cross, combine, and connect all these forms is energizing and satisfying.
Karin studied at Penland School for Crafts, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Touchstone School for Crafts, and North Country Studio Workshops, and has worked with many amazingly gifted and inspiring ceramic artists include Ruthanne Tudball, Bill Van Gilder, Malcolm Davis, Jeff Brown, Joyce Mihcaud, Mel Jacobson, Ian Currie, Susan Greenleaf, and Lynn Bulhak. Artists and teachers of metal work and other media include Gretchen Raber, Nick Barnes, Nancy DeMulder, Ken Bova, Komilia Okim, Beverly Ryan, Nancy Megan Corwin, Andy Cooperman, and Mo Kelman.
