WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION | With social distancing across the country we have decided to create a four hour Zoom online encaustic workshop with a half hour followup a few days later. 

How does it work?  We will ship you a box full of all the equipment, supplies and tools you will need to participate along with us. This includes 4 boards with your images prepped and ready for encaustic along with one image/board for you to practice gluing.  The cost of the class will include shipping to you and the return to us. You will also have the option of buying some or all of what we send.

The workshop will cover:

• History of encaustic and view examples of work
• Preparing digital images for printing
• Preparation of boards
• Application of encaustic
• Demonstration of hand coloring on wax
• Incising in the wax with various tools
• Image transfer onto the wax with inkjet copies
• Layering of images with tissue paper
• Demonstration of application of cold wax
• Various techniques to add texture to wax
• Finishing the sides of the boards and proper hanging techniques
• Care of encaustic art
