Encaustic Classes with Paula Roland

Sharon Kyle Kuhn — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:04:00 +0000

Many of you have requested information about classes. Although I will be teaching very informal 1/2 day classes in my studio beginning early next year…in the meantime or in addition, I strongly encourage those of you interested in learning about encaustics or those of you ready to enhance your knowledge in encaustic techniques to take one or more of Paula Roland’s classes. She’s an outstanding instructor and what a nice way to spend some time in New Mexico or Tucson, Arizona.

Thanks to Sally

A special thanks to Sally Hengst for her contribution and work at Jerry’s Artarama on Saturday, August 2nd. Sally was asked to be the docent for the day and she presented our TexasWax/Austin/San Antonio group member’s work in the informal exhibit on Jerry’s “green wall.” The work will be on display through the last week of August and thanks to Sally, Maggie Jordan, Beth Preston, Marilyn Fenn, Michelle Belto, Carolyn Todd, Sharon Kyle Kuhn, Terrence Moline, Steven DaLuz and Kristy Darnell Battani for exhibiting their work. If you haven’t seen the show…it’s a beautiful display of various styles of encaustics.

Encaustic Monotype Classes

Encaustic classes in my studio have been inspiring. Six people per class offers me a chance to work with each person one on one. It’s great to see how each artist has a unique style and thought pattern. Some students have limited experience in encaustics while there are others who have knowledge of the process yet have not had hands on experience. We begin at 9:30 a.m. and usually end the class around 1:30. Each person has a work station with an individual light box, heat gun and supplies. A variety of paper types are furnished including packing materials, newsprint, watercolor paper–both new and used, wrapping papers and a plentiful supply of found objects are always available for people to experiment with or incorporate into their work. Students often bring their personal favorites from home including photographs, images to work from or objects used to create interesting textures and shapes. Workshops will be offered in the fall and classes will continue to be offered throughout the summer.
