ENCAUSTICS WORKSHOP WITH EVIE LOVETT: Feb. 29th 10am-4pm Evie Lovett started out as a photographer and fell in love with the process of painting with wax: the tactile quality of the medium, the layering and mark-making that it enables, the way it opened up painting to her. She often uses photographic imagery in her encaustic work and will demonstrate techniques of combining encaustic painting and photographic imagery. More info at garageartsvt.com
