Exploring the World of Encaustic Wax with Carolyn Berry (Monday through Friday)

Join encaustic artist, Carolyn Berry, in this fun and experimental workshop where the sky is the limit! Encaustic wax is a versatile medium made from beeswax, damar resin and powdered pigments that can be used for traditional painting techniques as well as a way to add texture, layer and join mixed media materials together.  We will explore basic techniques of painting, drawing, collage, stenciling, photo transfer, wax fusing and surface manipulation. Using magazine images, photo images and found collage materials is much easier and more personal for students just starting out in encaustic. Be inspired to create artwork with a unique surface using melted wax and pigments.  No previous art experience is necessary only an adventurous spirit.

Please sign up early; class size is limited.
