SUMMARY:Wayfinding: A Solo Exhibition featuring Bridget Benton ~ Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this special evening to celebrate the opening for ” WAYFINDING”- solo show featuring local artist Bridget Benton.  It will be a joyful evening of community\, refreshments and a brand new art collection that tells a story. . . \nIn the summer of 2023\, artist Bridget Benton walked 415km on the Camino Francés in northern Spain\, beginning in Saint Jean Pied de Port and ending in Santiago de Compostela. These were the first steps in a year-long journey that led her out of her marriage\, to an artist’s residency in Ireland\, and ultimately back to herself.  \nOn the Camino\, Benton followed a path trod by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims before her. The path of the Camino was marked by yellow arrows\, scallop shells\, and cairns\, among other wayfinding symbols\, and Benton was struck by how easy it became to spot the arrow or the shell on a graffiti-covered wall or at a confusing village intersection. The path back to herself wasn’t as well marked\, but still contained signs that she also learned to intuitively identify. \nThis body of work\, shown for the first time at ArtPlay\, documents this journey and the internal process of wayfinding. Benton uses her signature style of mixed media collage in encaustic\, incorporating photographic image transfer\, nature print\, torn book pages\, and silkscreen prints.  Each piece contains a reference to wayfinding and the path through pain and into hope and healing.

SUMMARY:Layers of Meaning: Encaustic and Collage with Bridget Benton
DESCRIPTION:Saturday October 5th (10am to 5pm) and Sunday October 6th (12pm to 4pm) – $345 – All materials included\, but please see below. \nEncaustic is wonderful for collage because of the ability to build up translucent layers\, remove and reposition elements\, and create dreamy compositions! In this course\, we explore different ways of building up those layers in encaustic and mixed media as well as working in a series and working on multiple panels at once. We’ll be working with papers\, images\, wax-friendly mixed media materials\, and even dimensional objects. This beginner-friendly class offers both new and experienced students a formula for developing their encaustic paintings and is a great way to understand “thinking in layers.” And I cover topics not included in my encaustic comprehensive – including materials you can use on the panel BEFORE you add wax and incorporating dimensional elements like keys\, rocks\, or costume jewelry into your work. \nOn the first day\, students will start with four 8×8 cradled panels and will begin by intuitively creating backgrounds using encaustic-friendly paint\, glue\, and collage materials directly on the panels. Next\, we’ll add layers of clear encaustic medium and start to develop the composition and establish a focal point by adding in layers of both translucent and opaque encaustic paints\, collage\, and image transfer – all while working to both conceal and reveal the background layer. Students will be encouraged to work on all four panels at once\, developing works that (might possibly) feel related. \nOn the second day\, we’ll cover multiple techniques for adding dimensional objects – this includes everything from buttons and seedpods to branches and matchbox cars. I’ll also cover adding some mixed media elements like oil sticks and pan pastels to highlight elements of the piece.
