Description
A juried open session where participants
will work on independent projects in a shared studio. Instead of one
instructor, this seminar will be led by artists in the field of encaustic.
The final component of this seminar is a group exhibition of the
participants work, organized by Laura Moriarty, Director of the Gallery at
R&F, in December of 2008 - January of 2009. This a unique workshop in
a number of different ways. The class is juried to ensure that all
participants have a good amount of experience with encaustic painting and
can demonstrate how they will carry out a proposed project during the course
of the week. The panel of Master Artists will actually select who the
participants will be, and they will determine how they will interact with
the group based on who will be in it, and what each participant wants to
achieve. Activities could include slide presentations, technique
demonstrations, exercises, group one-on-one discussions, or a combination of
activities, all with the aim of helping participants reach the next level in
the development and presentation of their work. |

Registration & Policies
Registration Information
You may register by phone
1.800.206.8088, fax (845) 331.3242, or via email:
mail@rfpaints.com. You can also
fill out a registration form
to sign up by mail. Please keep in mind that it is best to phone in your
registration, since we will be able to tell you at that time whether or not a
class is full. If a class is full, we keep a wait list. It is not
unusual for participants to drop out. When this happens you will be
notified asap that a space is open. A $100 deposit is required when
signing up. Once we have received your deposit, we will send you a receipt
which will indicate whether or not the class is fully enrolled. Once the
class is fully enrolled, we will send out a confirmation packet which includes
an accommodations list, directions to the workshop, material to bring, and
technical sheets. The balance of your workshop is due one month before the
class.
For participants that would
like more independent work time, extra days can be added to any workshop held in
Kingston, NY, at a reduced rate of $75 per day. Instruction is not
included, but the use of all paints and tools is. Please let us know
at the time of registration that you want to add days, so we make sure we have
those dates available.
Though rare, if we must cancel a workshop due to insufficient enrollment, you will be notified no
later than one month before the workshop is scheduled. In this event your deposit will be
returned to you in full, or you will be given the opportunity
to transfer it to another session.
If you must withdraw from a workshop, and you give us a minimum of one
month’s notice, R&F will refund $75 of your initial deposit, retaining a $25
processing fee. We maintain a waiting list, and make every
effort to fill every workshop, but often people on the waiting list are unable
to attend at the last minute. If you must withdraw after the
balance has been paid, R&F will retain the entire amount. If we can replace you
in the workshop we will refund the balance, less the $25
processing fee.
R&F does not assume responsibility for nonrefundable travel and
lodging expenses. We therefore recommend that you wait until your class is confirmed
before making these arrangements.
