| "Moon 2" Clare Murray Adams Encaustic on Wood Panel 11 x 14" So.........I have been away from my blog for awhile. There was a wedding shower in Phoenix and a visit to my brother's family for a week in the middle of May. Then home for a week to catch up with household chores, mowing, yard work and the garden. Right now I am in Columbus teaching an encaustic class at CCAD (Columbus College of Art and Design) for the QSDS (Quilt Surface Design Symposium). And finally I have a few minutes to share the work my wonderful students have been doing with encaustic and fabric. Day 1 finds everyone terrified of using propane torches. Day 2 finds them proficient at adhering fabric to their boards, applying the encaustic wax medium, and using those dreaded torches. Day 3 finds them creating works combining encaustic with their individual interests in collage, fabric, calligraphy, travel, cultural influences and much more. Day 4 they hardly need me!! I have found that these textile artists arrive at a workshop with very rich materials... hand dyed fabrics, hand painted fabrics, eco dyed fabrics, printed fabrics and papers, and much more. I am enjoying working with them and learning from them probably more than I am teaching them. Here are some of their artworks. |
