Encaustic Workshops
Norman Soskel will teach
encaustic painting workshops at the Germantown Hobby Lobby (on Exeter)
beginning in October.
The first workshop will be a
basic workshop teaching the history, safety, materials and methods. The
curriculum is designed for those who have not had prior experience with
encaustic or who want to learn the proper use of the medium. It will be a 6
hour workshop from 12:30 PM until 6:30 PM starting October 25. Attendees will
produce between 3 and 5 pieces of art during the day. After the initial
workshop, basic workshops will be at the same time and location on the second
Friday of each month.
Starting November 22,
extended encaustic workshops will be held at the same time and place on the 4th
Friday of each month. This will provide additional techniques not covered in
the basic workshop. The basic workshop is a prerequisite for the extended
workshop.
These workshops are for
adults only.
In addition, Norman teaches
private lessons, to be arranged individually, in his studio.
