Prince Edward County Encaustic Sculptural Painter, Andrew Csafordi, announces two new Painting Workshop Packages that will make any visit to this beautiful island a feast for all the senses!
Encaustic painting involves using natural aromatic melted beeswax with oil paint mixed in for colour. A very friendly medium, the fast drying time allows one to create captivating works that ignite the imagination. The warm liquid wax is applied to a wooden surface with brushes. Each layer is then gently fused using heat, resulting in a luminescent painting. The results will delight and surprise participants.
“QUEEN BEES FOR A DAY” PACKAGE
The one-day Girls Weekend Package includes a One-Day Encaustic Painting Workshop for 4 persons, workbooks, all materials, light refreshments and snacks, and a delicious outdoor picnic lunch for four set at a harvest table on the artist’s beautiful farm. Each person will take home the works of art they have created and will receive a special “Queen Bee For A Day” t-shirt designed by the artist. Cost is $295. per person (plus HST). The picnic lunch for 4 includes non-alcoholic refreshments, locally made soups or salads, sandwiches and sweet treats.
“PAINTING WITH MY HONEY” PACKAGE
For that unique bridal shower, wedding or anniversary gift … the “PAINTING WITH MY HONEY” PACKAGE includes a One-Day Encaustic Painting Workshop, workbooks, all materials, light refreshments and snacks, and a romantic outdoor picnic lunch for two set at a harvest table on the artist’s beautiful farm.. Cost is $495. per couple (plus HST). Each person will take home the works of art they have created at the end of the day. The picnic lunch for 2 includes non-alcoholic refreshments and locally made soup or salad, sandwich and sweet treats. Gift Certificates are available.
Both One Day Workshops allow couples and friends enough time during their visit to “The County” to also do some fine dining, wine touring, shopping and sight seeing. Combine either of these packages with a stay around the corner at The Inn at Huff Estates Winery. Ask for the “BEE RATE” and enjoy a special reduced rate in either a Deluxe or Premiere Suite, including wine tastings and a delicious breakfast buffet.
Two-Day Workshops are also available. For reservations, call (613) 393-1572 or visit Andrew’s website at www.andrewcsafordi.com for more information. All workshops take place in Andrew’s studio on his beautiful farm in the heart of Prince Edward County’s thriving wine region, just minutes outside the charming village of Bloomfield. Gift Certificates are available. Visa and Mastercard accepted.
The Andrew Csafordi Gallery is open DAILY from April to October, 10 AM to 5 PM (closed Wed).
