This workshop will survey the fundamentals of encaustic painting, the ancient technique of using hot wax and pigment. Explore rudimentary to complex two-dimensional methods while learning to melt, mix, and apply wax to create smooth and textured surfaces. Incising wax to create intricate drawings and collages, transfers, and stencils will be investigated. Through demonstrations, discussions, and exploration, participants will learn about this sumptuous material and discover its endless possibilities.

Midweek participants will tour the D’Amico House to view the collection. A critique will be held on the last day of class.

This class is designed for adults.
