This class is designed to introduce the basics of conditioning, forming and curing the clay. All materials and supplies included. Creative learners will be able to make as many projects as time and allotted materials allow. *Please note all millefiori canes shown are OOAK (one of a kind) and pictures are for suggestion and reference only.

Introduction to Cold Wax Medium with Denby Dale

Workshop meets for 3 hours on 2 consecutive Saturdays, $145, all supplies and materials included

A hands on exploration of cold wax medium techniques and its numerous applications for your mark making tool box and art making practice.

This cold wax workshop is for both those who are new to cold wax, as well as those who want to further explore the versatility of this popular medium. Cold wax may be used as a stand-alone medium in collage or mixed media, but is most frequently mixed with oil paints & other pigmented media. Incorporating cold wax medium into oil paint is also a great way to enhance your understanding of color theory, pigment and the light fast (opacity & transparency) qualities of paint. 

We will also discuss traditional and non-traditional tools for application, substrates and surfaces, studio safety and drying agents. Come see how to make this medium work for you in your own art practice, or just to try something new!
