Encaustic Workshop with Bonnie Rychlak

Learn the ancient technique of encaustic painting which dates to the Greeks. Students will be led by teacher and artist Bonnie Rychlak to learn the basics of this ancient craft that involves using hot wax and pigments to create something of a mixture between painting and sculpting. Through demonstrations, discussion and exploration, students will discover its endless possibilities for making art. There is a class size limit of 10 students and students will be expected to come to all five classes. All materials will be supplied for this class. The class will be held in the Engine Barn which is in the rear of the Corwith House property located at 2368 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, NY 11932. Parking can be found onsite in the museum lot located off of Corwith Avenue.
