2-Hour Mini Workshop
You’ll choose one main technique to focus on. You may try one or two of the four techniques, but time is limited for deeper layering or detail.
4-Hour Studio Workshop
You can explore multiple techniques in one session. This longer format is best for representational painting or multiple techniques.
What will we create in Mini Workshop!
2-Hour Mini Wax Workshop
You’ll create one finished encaustic artwork on a 6×6" or 5×7" panel with one-on-one guidance. This session focuses on a single technique such as collage, nature reliefs, photo transfer, or simple representational work.
4-Hour Encaustic Studio Workshop
You’ll create an encaustic piece on an 8×10", 8×8", or two smaller panels. The extended time allows you to combine techniques, build more layers, and work at a relaxed pace while still choosing a main focus. One-on-one guidance is provided throughout.
Creative Approach
Guests choose their own subject matter—this is not a step-by-step group project. Jessie encourages participants to work on imagery or themes they feel personally connected to.
- For representational encaustic painting, guests may send Jessie a reference photo ahead of time so it can be prepared for studio use.
- Collage and photo-transfer projects often incorporate nature-inspired imagery, but guests are also welcome to explore contemporary, abstract, or personal designs.
- The studio environment supports creative freedom, experimentation, and individual expression.
What’s Included
- All encaustic materials (wax, paints, medium, tools, brushes)
- Panels in the sizes listed above
- Use of studio equipment and heated tools
- Protective materials and workspace setup
- One-on-one instruction tailored to your technique choice
Skill Level
No experience is required. These sessions are designed for:
- Beginners wanting to try encaustic for the first time
- Returning students building skills
- Artists exploring mixed-media techniques
- Anyone looking for a relaxing, creative studio experience
Expectations
- You’ll choose your technique on your required waiver
- This is an open studio format—not a step-by-step group project
- Each student works on their own piece at their own pace
- Jessie circulates to offer individual guidance
- The studio is warm (due to heated wax), relaxed, and welcoming
- Most guests leave with a finished piece and plenty of inspiration
Time Limits Matter
Because encaustic requires heating, layering, and fusing, time plays an important role in what can be accomplished.
- The 2-hour session is best for a single technique, small panels, and simpler imagery.
- The 4-hour session provides the time needed for building layers, combining techniques, or working on more detailed or representational artwork.
