| 'Poles Reflections' Encaustic-Wax on paper & board |
In this workshop find
out how this ancient and versatile medium can provide something for
everyone from simple ‘craft’ type projects to more ‘fine art’ works. Basic
painting techniques with layering, drawing, printing, writing, stencils, inlay,
incising, scraping, collage, image transfer, shellac burn and mixed media will
be demonstrated. Helpful resource notes on Encaustic-wax history, safety,
equipment, tools & materials will also be provided.
Jacki would like to share her passion with this medium and suggests
some research of other artists before the workshop, to help find out where
your preference lies.
NOTE: The materials fee covers all equipment, heat tools, wax mediums and
materials for experiments.
