WAX Collagraph Printmaking Weekends with Pier 11 Studio
Weekend Workshop with Elise coming up November 8th & 9th!
Join Elise Wagner on the waterfront at Pier 11 Studio in historic Astoria, Oregon! Learn to print by making marks and embossing textiles into wax using handmade Wagner Collagraph Wax. Traditionally, in printmaking, a “collagraph” is a collaged printing plate. Wagner developed this unique approach to printmaking, replacing the collage on the plate with a specially formulated white encaustic wax. This class combines the techniques and approaches of both printmaking and encaustic painting to produce richly textured intaglio prints. Create plates from marks and textures applied with wax. In this class, we use both traditional plexiglas and flat Ampersand Claybord as the printing plate to learn the advantages of printing with each. We use non-toxic soy and honey-based Akua Inks on Japanese papers and Evolon microfiber.
Wagner is a member of the Speedball Professional Network
