Beeswax Collage 101
~with Diane Bouchard~
"Everything was wonderful! The instructor (Diane) was very knowledgeable, helpful and extremely nice... Life altering for someone who works 60-hour weeks at an internet company, who normally wouldn't be able to draw a stick figure and who is proud of her work and can't wait to create more beeswax collages to share with friends and family." - Jenni J.

Throw away your glue... out with the old... in with the new! Beeswax is the newest, most exciting way to create collage works of art with amazing depth and texture. Join Diane, altered book artist, for this stimulating hands-on class, and create a pair of one-of-a-kind wax collages to take home. Students will start by selecting collage papers for background, focal point and accent while the pots of beeswax melt. Then, play around with composition as you learn some basic design concepts. Now the real fun begins! Each student will apply a thin layer of beeswax onto the surface of their collages to adhere the carefully selected papers. You will then add more layers and wax to create the exact collages you desire. Students will have the option of adding dimensional letters for added depth. Other final embellishments will be incorporated to give your pieces texture and a finished look. The materials fee covers everything you need: two canvas boards, collage materials, ephemera, beeswax, embellishments and more. You will create a pair of imaginative beeswax art collages that you will be proud to display in your home or give as a gift to *wow* your recipient. ABOUT THE TEACHER: |
