Weekend Photo+Encaustic Workshop with Sarah Rehmer

If you're yearning to try a different art experience in the New Year, think about signing up for Sarah Rehmer's Photo+Encaustic Workshop at the La Grange Art League. Sarah's class will combine photography with encaustic painting techniques to transform photo-based images into tactile works with a sense of soft focus, optical depth and layered imagery. Embedding photos with wax-based materials allows you to present translucent works on a variety of surfaces without placing them under glass. Try out a number of treatments over the wax including image transfers, color glazes and hand coloring. Explore an assortment of paper printing options. Printing and all paint materials are included in the supply fee. Cost for the workshop is $345 for members and $375 for non-members. Go to www.lagrangeartleague.org to register or call 708-352-3101.
