This two-day, jam-packed workshop is perfect for taking your encaustic skills to the next level. We will be experimenting with more advanced techniques: painting, scraping, incising, accretion, sgraffito, image transfer, dipping, pouring, shellac burns, imbedding paper/small bits, and hot box mono-prints, We will be working on both wood panels and paper.

In this class we will cover:

-Review of basic techniques

-Immersing (dipping) items- paper, leaves, lace, fiber etc into encaustic medium, great time to experiment

-embedding small light items into art

-Pouring techniques- two methods

-Shellac burns with amber and colored shellac

-Using the hot box to make monotypes, using a variety of papers

Let’s see what you can create with encaustic wax!

Two pounds pre-made encaustic medium

Encaustic paint, colors and brand of your choice

4-6 Wood panels no larger than 12x12”

Small items to embed, if desired

Laser copies of images for transfer, if desired

Items for dipping in medium, if desired

One roll of wax paper

Small roll or few sheets of baking parchment paper

Absorbent papers for monotypes on the hot box, the Yasutomo Hosho Paper Sketch Pad, 9x12" or 12x18, works well, but also consider book pages, kraft paper, rice paper, sheet music, copy paper, paper bags etc, nothing too glossy!
