Scratchboard Workshop – Auburn

Saturday, August 18th, 11 am a 4:30 pm, at Embellishments Artist Studio, Auburn CA

NOTE: I hope to be able to offer this class in April, but may push it back to May or June depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Sometimes called athe art of taking awaya, scratchboard is a medium that allows for amazing detail, but is also surprisingly forgiving and versatile. In this workshop, youall learn the basic techniques for working on scratchboard. Knives will be used in class, but any abrasive object can be used to remove the black ink from a board to reveal the white coating beneath. Ink can be added and re-scratched, allowing for softness and a range of tones to enhance the detail.

Open to all levels; new and returning students welcome. Supplies included. You must provide your own reference photo(s). Instructions will be sent after registration. Embellishments is at 1021 Lincoln Way, Auburn CA
