Drip, pour, drag, layer, heat, and incise! Investigate the art of encaustic painting in this very hands-on workshop using pigmented wax, and a heated palette! Explore a rich variety of marks and surfaces while doing image transfer, etching, and collaging in this seductive medium.

Take both your flat collections of drawings, collected papers, pictures and incorporate found objects. Class time will be divided between demonstrations, individual work time, and discussion about historical and contemporary practices. We will also touch on proper studio ventilation, wax safety, and how to “finish” artworks in terms of framing and care.

Students will leave with multiple finished pieces and the understanding of proper studio set-up. This class is suitable for ALL levels! https://www.artwavesmdi.org/event-5175536?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=4/28/2023
