2023 ENCAUSTIC CLASS SCHEDULE
To sign up for classes, follow registration instruction at each class location noted below.
Intro to Encaustics
In this one-day workshop you’ll learn how to create your own encaustic painting using the ancient medium of beeswax and damar resin. You’ll be taught the basics from recommended heat sources, tools, and equipment to prepping, painting, and fusing with fire. All levels of ability are welcome - from beginners to those who simply want to continue learning using the supplies in the class. We recommend you bring an image that inspires you - a photo of a favorite vacation spot, artwork you love, your home’s interiors, or simply a favorite color palette. Materials are included in the class fee, allowing you to walk away with a completed encaustic painting on wood panel.
