Club member Nicky Alexander is hosting a Wax (or Crayon) Etching Workshop at the clubhouse tonight (Thursday October 06th) at 7:00pm.

The ‘Wax (or Crayon) Etching Workshop’ is happening this week – Thursday 6th October at 7pm.

 

This is a fun exercise and a simple straightforward technique with exciting possibilities . . . I look forward to experimenting with you 🙂

 

You will need:

 

– stiff card or cartridge paper (if you don’t have anything suitable . . . the back of a cereal box or paper plate works just fine)

– any wax crayons you have lying around (if you don’t have anything . . . don’t worry as I will bring what I have from home)

– a paint brush and small roller . . . if you have one (again I will bring from home and there are probably also a few in the studio)

– if you have a tube of acrylic paint . . . preferably black or dark in colour . . . you may want to bring that along also?

– and finally two or three sharp tools you can use for carving out / etching your design . . . eg. toothpicks, kebab stick, linocut tools work well, end of a teaspoon, etc . . .
