Discover the luminous, tactile art of encaustic painting in this engaging hands-on workshop for beginners. Using molten beeswax, Damar and pigment, you’ll explore a medium with a rich history and endless creative possibilities.

Through guided demonstrations, you’ll learn how to prepare painting surfaces, and the foundational techniques of layering, fusing, and mixing color. Experiment with smooth and richly textured surfaces, while discovering how heat, wax, and pigment can work together in surprising ways.

This beginners class encourages intuition, play, and creative flow. You’ll have plenty of time to develop your own ideas creating small paintings to take home.
