Encaustic is an ancient medium which lends itself to beautifully layered paintings. In this workshop you will learn safety, studio setup, and the basics of painting. You will learn how to fuse each layer of wax using a blow torch, heat gun, or encaustic iron. You will learn about layering transparent and opaque colours. You will also learn how to carve and scrape through your layers to create designs. No experience required.

This is the prerequisite for the other I2E virtual workshops in the series.

Suggested materials list will be emailed to participants upon registration.
