What is Encaustic? Encaustic is a unique art form; it is a wax-based medium that uses heat to add a new dimension not found in other media. The pigment is mixed with wax creating beautiful bright colors. The images can be layered to explore the translucent or opaque nature of wax and its ability to show depth. The encaustic process allows for the building of surfaces in which their images can be transferred, glazed, scraped, and scrubbed or made into model or cast forms. Encaustic procedures can enrich printmaking, bookmaking, visual journals, altered books, papermaking and sculpture by combining color, texture and transfer techniques.

Members, Students with ID: $ 50

Not-yet-members: $70
