Well I am back from the fourth annual Encaustic Painting Conference at Montserrat College of Art, it always takes me about a week to wind down and get back into the swing of things....
This time around I spent a whole week there and I have to say it was the best ever yet conference for me after going for three years in a row...From the free workshops on Friday, to the Keynote address, to the Panel on Sat. morning..all the demonstrations and talks I attended were top notch, the vendors and selection increased, the many art exhibits were fabulous, the lunches, the people I met ....I could go on..the BBQ at Julie Shaw Lutts was a great way to end the week long adventure...and my hands on workshop with Catherine Nash was mind blowing for me.....I can't go on enough..Joanne Mattera, you and the college folks really out did yourselves...THANK YOU; THANK YOU, & THANK YOU : )! I am so eager to try more of the MONO PRINTS in the book art format....can't wait to play more..
The conference blog highlights the conference in details with many links to explore of other artist's blogs, and free handouts for those of you eager to learn hands on techniques with the encaustic medium..check it out! Really think about attending next year .....
Linda Womack's blog has a really great video clip of the conference, where you can here the buzz of our ever growing hive...
This year I was so engrossed in the activity and learning,....that I didn't take a whole lot of photos..but there are many other great blogs to check out photos ....so please go on a lovely blog journey...enjoy! Truly food for the soul....
