Aya Fiber Studio

This workshop explores the immediacy and process-diverse technique of encaustic mono--

printing. Through journaling, personal mapping, and expressive mark-making exercises, we will

access layers of memory, dreams, and personal narratives, inspiring us to develop

ideas and areas of focus for series-based work on paper. Participants will experiment with a

variety of innovative processes and materials such as encaustic mono-printing, suminagashi,

powdered graphite/charcoal, graphite bars, pyrography, and stitch. The conceptual use of

translucency and layers is further explored through simple, yet versatile, book bindings to create

unique personal journals through the alternative book form. All encaustic supplies are included,

however, you might like to bring your own collage materials and/or some of the optional supplies

for more personal expression.
