I want to thank all the folks that came by my studio during 701cca's Open Studio event this past weekend. Around 90 people came through over the two days! It was really gratifying to talk to everyone and I feel honored by all who stopped by.
I sold some encaustic paintings and since it is a new medium for me - and I wanted to answer the question on how to frame them. Here is a good website that not only has a good method for framing them, but describes the process as well.
I was surprised that a number of people had never heard of encaustic painting— although they may be familiar with artists who employed it, such as Jasper Johns (one of my favorites). It is one of the oldest fine art methods and was commonly used by the Greeks and Egyptians. It has enjoyed a revival since the 1960's due, in part, to Jasper Johns.
Visitors to the space were also surprised by the fact that there were studio spaces above OOPS! in 5 points. There are now 7 artists in this space and we plan on having a few open house events over the summer. Stay tuned.
