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 will that 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.

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
