Encaustic Critters, A Workshop at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

Wednesday-Friday, October 9-11, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

This is a unique opportunity to work with wood and the ancient medium of encaustic in creating a “critter” in the form of a relief wall piece! 

Whether a chipmunk, baby barred owl, or hedgehog is your critter of choice, we’ll explore forms on board and then learn to cut with a jigsaw to establish wings, feet, and other creative design elements. Students will be introduced to the molten beeswax paint to create a rich surface for their critter.
