Abstract and Cold Wax Medium
October 20–22
Cold wax is a medium of contradiction — at once forgiving and demanding, immediate and slow to reveal itself. Mixed with oil paint, it builds surfaces you can scrape back into, layer over, sand down, and rediscover. A single passage might hold the translucency of stacked glass or the weight of eroded stone, sometimes both in the same square inch.
This workshop is an invitation to work that way — to let the medium's own resistance and generosity shape your decisions. You'll build up texture with knives, tools, and rags; pull color back out; and let what's underneath inform what comes next. There's no single "right" abstract mark to arrive at. The point is discovering how wide the vocabulary of this medium really is, and finding which parts of it feel like yours.
Come ready to work intuitively, get your hands into the paint, and leave with a fuller sense of what cold wax can do — in your hands, in your language, on your surface.
