Encaustic | Workshop in a Box
INSTRUCTORS | Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully
“With social distancing across the country we have decided to create a four hour Zoom online encaustic workshop with a half hour followup a few days later. How will that work? We will ship you a box full of all the equipment, supplies and tools you will need to participate along with us. This includes 4 boards with your images prepped and ready for encaustic along with one image/board for you to practice gluing. The cost of the class will include shipping to you and the return to us.”
The workshop will cover:
- History of encaustic and view examples of work
- Preparing digital images for printing
- Preparation of boards
- Application of encaustic
- Demonstration of hand coloring on wax
- Incising in the wax with various tools
- Image transfer onto the wax with inkjet copies
- Layering of images with tissue paper
- Demonstration of application of cold wax
- Various techniques to add texture to wax
- Finishing the sides of the boards and proper hanging techniques
- Care of encaustic art
