 11am - 5pm

All Skill Levels                     complete


This workshop is for artists who are new to encaustic or have already got their hands into the wax.

 Encaustic is a luminous medium that is made up of molten beeswax, pigment and dammar resin. Once an ancient process, it is now updated with new tools and equipment. The process produces impressive results with jewel- like surfaces and textures. 
We will cover safe studio practices, melting and fusing, line and edge, working with paper, photography and texture. The participant will be supplied with a small practice panel (4x6”) for each technique on which to practice. I supply the equipment, paint, medium, brushes and tools. 

Once you've registered I will contact you with an optional materials list.

Encaustic painting is a process that produces impressive results with luminous and jewel-like surfaces and textures.  Artists come to encaustic painting from many other mediums which then creates a dynamic and rich experience.  Areas covered include: safe studio practices, surface preparation and resources.  Various demonstrations will be scheduled with plenty of time to experiment. Participants will learn the process as well as techniques, such as melting through, line and edge, transfers, texture and incorporating paper and photos. Each person can choose to practice all of these methods or just the ones that interest them. At the end of the workshop, artists will be familiar with a range of techniques which they can use in their work.  Paint, equipment, tools and small practice panels will be supplied.  Bring wood panels up to 9x12" (not clayboard) if you'd like to make larger, more resolved work. An optional materials list will be supplied once you register.  

For those of you who have taken the beginner workshop and want to move on to a more advanced level, get in touch with me to develop your plan.
