Incorporating encaustic into your studio practice opens up a myriad of surfaces, vibrant color and luminous possibilities for your work.
This workshop is designed for artists who are serious about incorporating encaustic into their studio practice or artists who already use encaustic and want to enhance their skills. It’s also ideal for artists who want to setup their own encaustic studios quickly, safely and economically.
It’s important participants have an art foundation and are familiar working with a variety of materials. Having experience working with different mediums provides the flexibility needed for more in depth work. Participants are encouraged to have an idea of their focus; we will explore how to incorporate other styles and techniques into the work. We will also cover composition, color, line and concept.
Basic encaustic skills are required to take this workshop. The next Beginning Encaustic workshop is scheduled for August 28th or you can contact me to schedule your own worskhop.

- Safe + healthy studio set up
