Encaustic - meaning "to burn in" in Greek - dates back to the fifth century BC. Used as a contemporary medium, it is a versatile method of painting with beeswax based paint kept molten on a heated palette. Participants will learn to prepare supports, mix colors, apply wax, fuse, etch, layer, combine collage, transfer Xerox images and incorporate found objects. Materials list for participants to bring will be sent upon registration.
