➕➕➕ Between Two Shores - The Encaustic (Only) Session

Your canoe is already waiting for you.

This is Part 2 of the Between Two Shores experience and you don't need to have done Part 1 to join us!

Your professionally hand-built glazed ceramic canoe, made by Cheryl Caswell (clayfulpotters) will be at the studio, ready to come to life the moment you walk through the door. You'll spend a rich 3-3 1/2 hours working with Pam; lovisART's expertly trained encaustic and mixed media instructor using the ancient, luminous art of encaustic: beeswax, heat, and fire. The concept is Christina Lovisa's, the instruction is Pam's, and the result is going to be something you actually can't believe you made. 

Here's the magic: one side of your canoe becomes a lake scene by day. Flip it over, that same lake, at night. Same water. Same shoreline. Two completely different worlds, painted in wax. You'll learn to apply encaustic wax with heat tools, build depth with shading and patina, fuse layers for that signature glowing translucency, and collage with fine rice papers to add "story" and a little mystery. No experience needed.  We've got you completely covered.

What you'll make: A glazed ceramic canoe with two painted encaustic scenes; one in daylight, one under night sky, finished and ready to display.

What's included: All encaustic wax, rice papers, tools, patinas, and materials — plus the ceramic canoe itself. Everything you need to walk out with a finished piece.

Where: lovisART Studio — 56 Mill St., Almonte, Ontario When: Saturday, November 7 · 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM Seats: Only 6

Creativity Required: ✚✚✚ This one gives you real creative freedom. I'll teach you the technique and guide you through the process, but you'll make more of the decisions; colors, composition, imagery, and little additions, so everyone's piece will turn out beautifully different.

Workshop Policy: Refunds & Date Changes

We pour so much care into planning each workshop, from ordering materials to preparing your workspace, that our numbers are finalized well in advance. Because of this, all workshop sales are final: we're unable to offer refunds or switch registrations to a different date.

We know plans change! If you're no longer able to attend, your seat is fully transferable. Simply let us know what date you booked and who will be taking your spot, and we'll make sure they're all set for the day. This way, your seat never goes to waste, and someone else gets to share in the experience. Email: workshops@lovisart.com

We appreciate your understanding, and we can't wait to create with you (or your friend!) in the studio.
