Greg is an award-winning visiting artist who specializes in working with Markers as his medium. We are excited he will be sharing his talent with us!
Art markers are used by illustrators, designers, and artists to achieve a different result in the artwork than you would normally see from using colored pencils or paints. Art markers are commonly used in hand-lettering, calligraphy, and technical illustrations because of the smooth, quick-drying colors they can produce.

Encaustic Printmaking
with Sandy Shellenberger
Saturday, Oct 18,
12:30-3 p.m.
$42 workshop fee,
$20 materials fee
With encaustic monotype, pigmented wax is applied directly to a temperature-controlled metal plate by painting or pouring it onto the plate, or more commonly, drawing on it with encaustic in solid stick form. The molten wax can then be manipulated with brushes and other tools to refine the image. To create the print, absorbent paper is laid on the plate so the image transfers onto — actually absorbs into – it. Fabrics may be used as well. A hand-held Japanese printmaking tool called a baren may be used to gently press the print and bring it into full contact with the plate.
