Wax & collage Workshop
Embedded textures with encaustic.
WAX & COLLAGE WORKSHOP: EMBEDDED TEXTURES WITH ENCAUSTICS
Explore the tactile beauty of beeswax collage by embedding paper, string, natural fibers, and pressed flowers into a wax surface. You’ll learn how to color paper with encaustic paint, layer organic materials, and use wax as both a natural adhesive and preservative.
This workshop often focuses on tree and floral themes, but your piece will be uniquely your own.
- Create one or two small paintings on 6x6" or 5x7" panel.
- All materials are provided, and you’re welcome to bring personal papers or fiber elements to incorporate into your artwork.
