šŸ’› Fall in Love with Encaustic: An Introduction to Wax and Fire

Duration: Single Day (11:00 AM ā€“ 4:00 PM) | Level: Beginner/All Levels

šŸ”„ Workshop Description

Discover the luminous, ancient art of encausticā€”painting with heated beeswax and coloured pigments! This rich, tactile medium allows for beautiful layering, texture, and depth unlike any other.

In this intensive, single-day introduction, you will move past intimidation and learn to harness the unique qualities of molten wax to create stunning works of art. Perfect for absolute beginners, this workshop covers everything you need to start your encaustic journey.

šŸ–¼ļø What You Will Learn

This hands-on session focuses on building a confident foundation, including:

  • The Basics of Fusing: Mastering the essential technique of safely bonding wax layers with heat.

  • Creating Texture & Depth: Exploring methods for smooth, glossy finishes and exciting, textured surfaces.

  • Pigment Application: How to use coloured pigments, oil sticks, and shellac to achieve vibrant results.

  • The Essential Tool Kit: Learn which tools are necessary (and which are not!) to successfully work with wax.

  • Safe Studio Setup: A practical guide on how to ethically source materials, minimize cost, and set up a safe, functional home studio with minimal equipment.

āœ… Included & Details

    • All materials are included! You simply need to show up ready to create.

    • Take Home: You will leave with one comprehensive working board that demonstrates nine different encaustic techniques, serving as a permanent reference guide for your future practice. You will also put your sills into practice to make one small shelf-sitter painting.

    • No experience necessary. This class is tailored for anyone curious about painting with encaustic or for those interested in practicing at home or in our open studio.
