Description
This two day comprehensive workshop is designed for the purpose of learning the traditional techniques of the ancient encaustic medium and combining it with more contemporary methods and approaches. Instruction is individualized and intended for the more non-traditional artist who enjoys combining different methods and approaches.

The class will also include, examples of work, and an informative lecture on the history of the medium with rare texts and resources on hand for perusal and discussion.

Alll students are provided with two birch panels; 1/8" x 8" and 1/12" x 12". Coffee and scones provided each morning. You can bring your lunch or we often order take out from a nearby restaurants.
