Creating Extreme Texture in Encaustics with Angela Hanson
This workshop will feature a variety of techniques that can be used to create extreme texture in encaustic works.

Participants will also learn how to take a mold and cast it using wax medium which can then be added to paintings.
Artist Biography
Lake Country artist Angela Hansen grew up on a small horse ranch near the BC interior town of Quesnel. Directly after graduating high school she moved to Vancouver and attended the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, (now Emily Carr University of Art and Design). She received a certificate of Design with a major in Graphic Design and she then worked as a freelance designer and in small print shops for a few years then decided to upgrade to a degree; she now holds a Bachelor of Design with a major in Communications Design from ECIAD.

Angela has worked with a variety of mediums in the past, including; charcoal, ink, acrylics, block-print, photography, and clay and has been showing her art and photography since she was a teenager, mostly in the Kootenays and Central Okanagan. Angela joined the local group Livessence around 2005 when she worked almost exclusively with the human form - then her work took a drastic change from figurative charcoal and acrylic paintings to a more abstract form in encaustics after the birth of her son in 2008. She has been working almost exclusively in encaustic since then.
