 Introduction to Encaustics

T.B.A. Available for One-On-One Encaustic is a paint medium composed of beeswax infused with damar resin and ground pigments. Layers are fused with heat and can range from transparent to opaque, wispy thin to thick and dimensional. Encaustic is luminous, forgiving and versatile. This class is a beginner level workshop which will focus on current methods, materials and artists. After a brief history, we will explore studio safety, tools and materials, supports, heat sources, paints and mediums, mark making, transfers, collage and embedding. One-on-one discussions between the instructor and students will focus on working concepts and problem solving. This workshop is appropriate for painters of all kinds, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, paper, fiber and mixed media artists. No prior encaustic painting experience is necessary to participate.
