Encaustic painting is the ancient painting medium using colored bees-waxes on different surfaces.
The waxes are melted with a special encaustic iron or moved with the encaustic pen. The tools and the non-toxic waxes are available through the artist. Artists of all levels can acquaint themselves with the medium. The class will try encaustic monoprinting possibilities and explore other new techniques. Encaustic materials can be purchased during class as needed.
