ENCAUSTIC COLLAGRAPH with Binnie Birstein
Wednesday – Friday, 10am – 4pm.
3-day intensive workshop, limited to 8; All Levels

This workshop combines encaustic painting with printmaking by creating collagraph plates that use wax to make the printable surface. Participants will be able to experiment with inlaying and incising techniques to create texture and build their images on re-usable Plexi-glass plates. The plates can then be inked with water based Akua intaglio ink and printed. The possibilities for using encaustic to create texture are limitless.
