Galerie Rye - Manuela Jarry Encaustic Painting Workshop

I saw this ad on Craigslist.com about a workshop for doing Encaustic painting and thought how wonderful. The only other workshops that I had heard about were in Ontario.


It was held at Gallerie Rye, 1331A Ste-Catherine Est, Montréal. The cost was very reasonable, $75.00 with all the materials included from 1pm to 5pm. I really enjoyed myself and all the participants were very nice. I came home after the workshop and had a million ideas in my head of what my next project would be. Here is a photo of the piece that I worked on at the workshop. It's not amazing but I learnt some of the different techniques shown that afternoon. I am hoping that they are planning on doing another workshop soon. It was definitely worth the money.

Worked a little more with my first piece that I posted back this summer and you can see how the melting of the wax has changed it.

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
