This workshop is full. A waitlist has been started.
There is something magical when you combine encaustic with an assemblage piece. Join Graceann Warn for this 4-day workshop on Bainbridge Island, WA where she will guide you through combining these two mediums.
Along with technical instruction that will cover using encaustic, making encaustic monotypes, cold connection of objects and various mark-making techniques, Graceann will discuss the very important aspect of art making: intent and content.

Connections
““I paint and I construct. Both my paintings and assemblages use the metaphor of excavation. My formal education in landscape architecture and classical archaeology provides structure to artistic flights of fancy that always seem to revolve around some form of revelation: The attempt to unearth an object or solve a mystery. Uncovering/Covering. Leaving a Trace, a Vestige, a Palimpsest.””
Graceann Warn’s academic background is in urban design and classical archaeology. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the collections of Yale University, Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY, US Embassies in Nairobi and Sarajevo, Pew Charitable Trusts and many others. This is Graceann’s fourth Bellissima Art Escape.
Kathie Vezzani, who is hosting the workshop, also is an artist who paints, rusts and waxes. She organizes trips for other artists and in a former life was a caterer. She has nearly thirty years of experience organizing trips for foodies and artists.
