Workshop Details

Encaustic painting originated in ancient Greece in the fourth century and is characterized by fusing molten wax and pigment with heat. Remarkably, paintings from thousands of years ago still hold their color, luminosity, and detail - making encaustic painting one of the most enduring painting methods in art history. In this immersive five-hour workshop, including a lunch, you'll create your own archival encaustic piece(s) ready to display or frame. All professional materials are included and no prior experience is necessary. This personalized workshop provides individual guidance that meets your skill level and creative preferences. We'll work together prior to the class to determine what's best for you. Learn how to: - prepare encaustic medium - mix pigments and and medium to develop your palette - apply and fuse layers using a variety of techniques - build texture, depth, and surface complexity - practice essential safety practices - create mixed media and photo encaustic pieces (optional focus) Lunch is included - please advise of any allergies or diet restrictions.
