    UPCOMING ENCAUSTIC “PAINT-CATION” WORKSHOPS IN PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

    Monday, March 12th, 2012

    Prince Edward County Encaustic Sculptural Painter, Andrew Csafordi announces the following upcoming dates for his popular Two-Day Encaustic “Paint-cation” Workshops.

    Upcoming Winter & Spring workshops are scheduled for the following dates:

    • March 3 & 4 or March 10 & 11
    • April 14 & 15 or April 21 & 22

    For other 2012 dates, please visit Andrew’s website at www.andrewcsafordi.com.

    Encaustic painting is fun and easy, using natural aromatic melted beeswax and oil paint mixed in for colour. A very friendly medium, the fast drying time allows one to create captivating works that will ignite their 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. Relax and be inspired while painting in a casual studio environment in the tranquil countryside. The results will delight and surprise participants. No experience is necessary.

    The Two-Day Encaustic Painting Workshop fee is $295. per person (plus HST) and includes a workbook, all materials, light refreshments and snacks. There is a maximum of 5 persons per workshop. All workshops take place in Andrew’s studio on his beautiful farm in the heart of Prince Edward County’s thriving wine region.

    Around the corner is the Inn at Huff Estates Winery. Ask for the “Bee Creative Package” and enjoy a special reduced rate in a Premiere Suite (double occupancy) with a delicious breakfast buffet for two each morning.

    Workshop gift certificates are available. Give someone special a two-day “Paint-cation” in Prince Edward County for that special birthday, wedding or anniversary gift. We accept Visa and Mastercard.

    The Andrew Csafordi Gallery is open by appointment until March 31st, and from 10 AM to 5 PM Thursday through Tuesday, April through October. Along with the Love Nest Studio Gallery (also located on site) we are both proud members of the Prince Edward County ARTS TRAIL.

    For more information, to purchase a Gift Certificate or to register for any of Andrew’s 2012 Encaustic Painting Workshops, call Andrew Csafordi at: (613) 393-1572 or visit his website at: www.andrewcsafordi.com.

    Andrew Csafordi Encaustic Studio Gallery

    Thursday, December 15th, 2011

    Through each encaustic painting Andrew brings the view into an organic sky landscape unlike any other.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ABOUT THE ARTIST: Andrew Csafordi, Andrew Csafordi Encaustic Studio Gallery
    A graduate of the Ontario College of Art, Andrew majored in drawing & painting, communication and design.  He has continued to consistently paint, sculpt and exhibit his art throughout his 30-year career as a professional designer, illustrator and creative director of several creative studios, and for the past 12 years, has co-owned the successful creative design studio, Fire Engine Inc. with his partner, wife and fellow artist, Tara Wilkinson. Andrew has created paintings and sculptures for both corporate and personal clients. Andrew and Tara (Love Nest Studios) are proud members of the Prince Edward County Arts Trail, and welcome over 1,000 visitors to their lovely farm, studios and galleries every year.

    ANDREW’S ART
    Through each encaustic painting, Andrew brings the viewer into an organic sky landscape unlike any other. Rich layers of imagination, pure beeswax and damar resin medium, dry pigments/oils, as well as fibre, wood, metal and other materials, are used in combination to tell a story. Sometimes moody, sometimes whimsical, always thought-provoking, Csafordi’s paintings seem, at times, as if he has reached down and ripped up the earth to show his viewers what lies beneath the surface … both literally and metaphorically. Each painting offers a portal into one’s imagination, and to a mysterious, luminous and textural world beyond.

    SPECIAL EVENTS
    Andrew is currently preparing to be part of the County Artists and Artisans UNIQUE BOUTIQUE at Wassail, being held in the Courtyard Room of The Inn at Huff Estates Dec 27/28 and December 3rd and 4th from 11:00 AM to 5 PM. Visit www.thecountywines.com for more details. Andrew’s work is also available at the Agnes Etherington Gallery in Kingston, Ontario.

    CITY REVIVAL – Recycled Fashions for Women and Men

    Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

    Owner: Faye Graham
    While living in Toronto, I was blessed in the 70′s to be able to buy wonderful clothing, and in the process was very spoiled by the fabrics and the styling of great quality fashion.  But…like many of us boomers…my 80′s finances didn’t allow for my tastes to continue.  That’s when I discovered recycled clothing and a world of possibilities opened up for me.  I could still indulge my tastes affordably!

    And it was so much fun!  We opened City Revival in Picton in January, 1992.  And through the ups and downs and experimentations over the past 20 years of stores in Toronto, Belleville and Kingston as well as Picton, the fun has never ended.  We now have only our beautiful store in Picton with 4000 sq. ft. of everything you can imagine.

    Product Selection:
    Recycled Fashions for Women and Men from: Etro, Burberry, Armani, Boss, Chanel, Dior, Max Mara, Gucci, Ferre, Brioni, Zegna, and  Banana Republic, Gap, Diesel, Bench, Lululemon (just to name a few)
    Recycled Designer Handbags
    New Lines for Women from: Willow, Pause Café, Cambio, Marc Cain etc.
    New Sterling Silver Jewellery
    New Scarves (great Christmas Gifts)
    Giftware and Linens

    GIFT CERTIFICATES…a most wonderful shopping experience!

    Special Events:
    On Fri. January 13th we celebrate 20 years in Picton.  Festivities all day til 8pm. Please come.
