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.

Demonstrations at Jerry’s Artarama

Sharon Kyle Kuhn — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:17:00 +0000

What fun!!! Demonstrations at Jerry’s Artarama in Austin have now been scheduled monthly. While I demonstrated the encaustic monotype process this past Saturday, there were people from Austin, San Antonio and surrounding areas in the audience. It’s always a pleasure to invite the people watching from a distance to come forward and join in the process…people enjoy having the hands on experience while I benefit from hearing about their experiences with encaustics. The children are intrigued with the feeling of oil pastels and R & F pigments used on the light box. Their faces light up when the melting begins. It always amazes me how many people know the history of encaustics and it’s a pleasure to watch the growing number of people shopping at Jerry’s go to the shelves for their first or even their 100th encaustic purchase. Thanks to Jerry’s…I have a regular spot at the table every month…come for a visit!!! I’d love to see you there.

Encaustic Monotype Classes

Sharon Kyle Kuhn — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:58:00 +0000

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.
