WAX & WORDS:
AN EXPLORATION OF ASEMIC  WRITING AND MARK MAKING, ENHANCED WITH  BEESWAX ENCAUSTIC LAYERS AND GOLD LEAF
SOLD OUT - please email Lyn to be placed on the waiting list

Date: Sunday, June 24, 2018
Time: 2-5 p.m.
Place: The Semmes Studio at the San Antonio Art League & Museum

This three-hour workshop taught by Lyn Belisle introduces you to the concept of asemic writing as a component of evocative encaustic collage. Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing. The word asemic means "having no specific semantic content," or "without the smallest unit of meaning." With the non-specificity of asemic writing there comes a vacuum of meaning, which is left for the reader to fill in and interpret.

We will explore mark-making with all kinds of tools, including sticks, stamps, and sprayed walnut ink over stencils. Areas of the artwork will be isolated, then covered with thin layers of beeswax to add translucency to the mystery of the marks.  The resulting work, elegant and timeless, will be matted for display and discussion.

All materials are provided, including
  • Drawing paper
  • Sticks and ink
  • Letter Stamps
  • Walnut ink stencils
  • Graphite pencil
  • Encaustic wax and brushes
  • Gallery mats
  • Gold leaf . . .and more
