Art Project: Encaustic Photo Transfers

Description

Every other month, local artist Jeannette McDunnah will guide us through a new art project – and this month, we will be learning in person! Practice the art of encaustic photo transfer: we’ll begin with a brief history of encaustic painting and safety precautions, then learn how to prepare a wood panel to complete the photo transfer, and finally transfer some images, resulting in a visually unique print. There will be some stock photos available to transfer, but if you would like to use your own photo, please email it to aandrasik@pypl.org by May 20 and the library will be sure to have it printed and ready for you. No experience necessary! Registration is required; to sign up, please visit https://bit.ly/artsdraftspy. Open to adults only, as we will be working with heat. Hosted by Penn Yan Public Library.
