Class Description
Description
What you'll learn in this encaustic class:
This 3 hour workshop is an overview of Encaustic painting. Participants will learn the fundamentals of working in this medium and will have a chance to explore multiple techniques. We will learn how to melt, mix, and apply the wax to create smooth and textured surfaces as well as how to incise the wax to create intricate drawings. Collage and photocopy transfers are additional ways to play with this medium. We will discuss how to set up your own space for painting with encaustic including ventilation, safety, and tools. Through demonstration, discussion and hands-on exploration, students will come away with an encaustic painting and will be able to continue on their own. A small class size insures that everyone gets personal attention.
Materials to Bring:
Please wear old clothes and shoes, or bring an apron. Bring photos (not glossy), sketches, paper, or other items to collage (optional). Students are also required to pay a $20 materials fee in cash directly to the instructor at the workshop.
The Material fee includes:
2 small wood panels, Wax paint, Wax medium, Cleaning wax, Oil sticks, small brushes, incising tool, razor blades and Latex gloves.
Refund Policy
Full 8 business days before class time for rescheduling. No refunds.

Really fun!

Encaustic Painting
Good overview and introduction. Teacher is nice. I wish she was more hands on with advice and guidance along the way— I found replicating the basic technique cleanly a bit challenging. Time should have been managed better—we barely had time to start the second panel.

Encaustic Painting
This class was a great introduction to encaustic paintings for someone who knows very little about the topic. The class is spit into instructional and hands on portions (the whole evening went by quickly!). Participants leave with one or two panels, depending on how much time you want to spend exploring different methods. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Mari was very patient and helpful in teaching this course. The class size was perfect and she set us up with everything we could have needed to create two small pieces. I would definitely recommend this class and would consider taking it again!

Encaustic Painting
I had lots of fun! Teacher was knowledgeable. I left with 2 pieces of art (one to be proud of). I am not sure we needed to go over all the techniques in such depth. Encaustic seems to be a trial and error thing. But we still had plenty of time to try things! I would definitively take it again.
