Encaustic Card Making - Class

CA$49.00

Have you ever painted with an iron? In this class we will learn the basics of Encaustic painting using the Encaustic Iron as our paintbrush. We will begin with a few pieces of Encaustic paper and learn how to melt the coloured beeswax onto the iron and then transfer it to the paper. We will try out a few tools to make marks in the wax and the effects of applying multiple colours at once.

Once you are comfortable, we will move on to create 5-7 paintings that we can mount to greeting cards, ready for giving. See the additional info below for class sizes / locations.
