Encaustic or hot wax painting is a simple process that produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces and textures.  It is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and dammar resin. It can be smooth and shiny, textured and three dimensional all on the same painting. Participants will explore melting and fusing, intarsia (line and edge), transfers, accordion book making, texture, collage, scraping and incising. Join us in learning this once ancient process, now updated with new tools and equipment.
