Instructor Nicole Bauberger has been working with encaustic since the mid-90s and has offered countless workshops. After a brief into to the medium, participants dive in, experimenting with colour and heat guns. Nicole demonstrates techniques tailored to students’ interest during the workshop - you can follow along with her or pursue your own experiments. At the end of the class, we'll look at what we've made and talk about it together. Encaustic is a challenging medium - easy to make something cool but it's hard to make it do what you want it to. Come with a sense of adventure!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaturday March 7: Printmaking – Linocut Patches with Lisa Moore \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn this three-hour workshop your teen will create their own fabric patches using linocut printing techniques. They will design their own printing block, carve the design with linocutting tools, and then practice making prints on paper.  One the image is perfected we will use a press to print directly onto fabric to create the patches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaturday March 21: Introduction to Drawing Portraits with Sheelah Tolton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn this class students will learn about how to draw the human head and key aspects of capturing likeness. We will talk about the anatomy of the head including typical proportions and relative measurements as well as how to simplify the head and face features into shapes that are easy to understand as they shift orientation in space. We will then practice drawing self-portraits and portraits of other students in the class. These exercises will help students not only draw portraits from life but also create new characters from imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaturday March 28: Intro to Glass Mosaic with Riley Brennan \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJoin mosaic artist Riley Brennan for a no-stress workshop creating your own little glass mosaic.

They can create their own design using textured plates and found objects or choose from one of the stencils provided. They will mark out their design and learn how to emboss recycled tin to create low relief, high relief, rounded relief, piercing and engraving.

Try different carving techniques and materials, learn which cutting tools and inks to use, and how to work with them on a variety of papers and materials.
