I will be teaching an exciting introductory encaustic workshop on the Oregon coast this summer:

Introduction to Encaustic Painting

September 7, 2013
10 am – 4 pm
$110 (all supplies included)
Bloom! an art escape
2128 HWY 101 N, Yachats, OR 97498 Studio 1

Learn the basics of working with encaustic in a hands-on exploration of this ancient wax art form. Encaustic is composed of beeswax, resin and pigment, applied hot, and fused to produce works that are translucent, sculptural and rich. After learning a brief history of encaustic, students will learn to make encaustic medium, color mixing, basic fusing techniques and layering.

The goal of this one-day workshop is to become comfortable with encaustic and finish 1-2 pieces of artwork. If you have always wanted to try encaustic this introduction is a great way to get started! All supplies are included.
