Curious about encaustic? This workshop covers the basics of this wax-based paint and introduces you to the myriad of techniques to explore — including image transfer, incising, building and removing layers, collage, glazing and more. On Day 3 we will turn down the heat a bit, and learn what’s possible when encaustic is used with paper.

February is the perfect time to discover this warm and incredibly forgiving paint medium.

Appropriate for all experience levels.
