About Emmaline’s Workshops:
Join Emmaline James for a reflective and creative workshop, exploring how art can help us map place, memory, and the subtle connections that shape our lives.
Drawing from her encaustic collage series 'Learning to Fly', Emmaline will guide participants through the process of creating a layered collage artwork on board that will be sealed in encaustic wax, offering a wonderful introduction to the luminous and tactile process of encaustic painting.
Participants are invited to bring photocopies of personal photos, and drawing, and imagery are further inspired by the surrounding landscape that influence a sense of belonging. No prior experience is required. The session is designed as a welcoming space for creative exploration, conversation and community connection, where art becomes a way of seeing ourselves, each other, and the places we inhabit with fresh awareness.
Participants will leave with their own encaustic-sealed collage artwork, capturing a moment of reflection on place, memory, and shared human connection.
We look forward to seeing you!
