WAX PAPER THREAD- Encaustic Printmaking and Bookbinding!

WAX PAPER THREAD

a collaborative class with Erin Keane

& Gina Louthian-Stanley, June 8-9 at 310 ART

I am an encaustic painter and printmaker, traveling from Roanoke VA to 310 Gallery in Asheville, NC to share my encaustic printmaking and direct painting with wax skills to cross-pollinate 310's curriculum in Wax Paper Thread. 

During class we will learn encaustic techniques in printmaking, painting, drawing, and mark-making on art papers. Erin Keane will explore intuitive and intentional expression with a variety of tools, and sew your papers into a sweet colorful journal with a beautiful binding.

There are two spots open and we hope you'll join us June 8-9.

I am very excited!
