This workshop will teach you the fundamentals of painting with wax - layering, melting with various tools, exploring collage and understanding the nature of wax - how to achieve ultra smooth or richly thick textured surfaces. Here is the link on my website. My full day workshops are also play days for those who already have experience and do not need the instruction. See link -

Creative 4Play - Women's Open Studio Sessions
Explore Your Creativity Through Encaustic Art
Creative 4Play is a women's open studio night where women explore their creativity through encaustic painting. This is an ancient technique where you paint with hot pigmented beeswax and use heating tools like blow torches and heat guns to melt the layers and manipulate the surface.
These are not formal classes but a creative playground where I offer coaching to those who want feedback or direction with their process or for thoes who are new basic lessons on how to paint with wax are provided. This is the perfect medium for exploring your creative side because it is so unusual and very unpredicatable, wax has a mind of it's own and you can also go beyond flat paintings and make 2 or 3 dinmensional art. Open creative like-minded women come to these sessions who like good tunes, an inspiring space and colour - lots of colours to play with.
The cost is $30 per session or pay for 3 in advance and save $10, pay for 4 in advance and save $15. I will be offering these sessions on Thursdays and Sundays starting next week - I will send the info. The cost included materials/HST.
