A micro version of the week-long immersive retreat held annually each July in the Seattle area~

I asked myself-

If we can’t gather at Dumas Bay-looking out the windows to the view of the green grass, blooming rose bushes, and expansive waters of the Puget Sound-how can we gather?
If we must wait, because caution, right-thinking, and world-consideration beg for it-then what instead, can we do to connect, until we can connect as anticipated?

I answered-

Why not EncaustiCampVirtual?

So it is.

The format is tentatively as follows:

• Welcome: Sunday noon PST ( this will also be our ‘test’ to make sure the Zoom app functions well for everyone!)
• Presentation, feature inspiration/artist, workshop: M-F 9:00-11:00/noonish PST
  • Workshops*: 
    • Monday Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch Cloth, Paper, Plaster, Clay: Forms for Hands
    • Tuesday Michelle Belto Layers: Creating Depth and Complexity
    • Wednesday Brenda Kauffman Scribes: Hand Lettering and Mark Making from a Calligraphers Desk
    • Thursday Kathryn Bevier Color Worlds in the Inspired Landscape 
    • Friday Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch Cardboard Cathedrals: Inspirations from Found Materials
• Closing: Friday 12:00ish PST

The part most missed will be the views, the shared meals, and the small beds 🙂

But the spirit and laugher will still yet exist-

Creative energy will flow-

Enthusiasm, hope, and inspiration will gather. 

                              Wont you come along?

If you are not available to attend ‘live’, the sessions will be recorded and sent to all registered for viewing at your leisure. 

Intro to Encaustic offered July 15 9am-11/noonish PST prior to ECamp. If you need an intro course, add this option to your ECampVirtual ticket selection below.

*Full workshop descriptions, materials, and applicable ‘kit’ information will be sent to ECVirtual registrants in June.

**Zoom is a conferencing app. It is simple, free to download, and easy to use. You will need it on your phone, computer, or tablet to ‘attend’. 

ECamp2020 is rescheduled to take place in person once again at Dumas Bay in 2021. Details here (updated by June 2020 to reflect changes)
