Art is Like Lasagna; You Build it in Layers with Robin VanHoozer

  • Kansas City Artists Coalition 3200 Gillham Road Kansas City US (map)

Adding encaustic to your collage making can take many forms. Today we will be using encaustic throughout the collage. Encaustic items can also be added to other collages made from other materials by several different techniques, such as, nails, tacks, threads, etc. Encaustic paint is beeswax, resin, and pigment and has been used since ancient times. The paint is heated and the layers are fused with heat. Encaustic medium is beeswax and medium without the pigment.

The beauty of encaustic is that it is very versatile and lends itself well to collage making. We will learn various techniques and best practices for adding encaustic to your studio practice. The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate how to incorporate elements of encaustic to your work. If you are interested in continuing to learn more about using encaustic, I suggest further workshops, in addition to this workshop, which will teach more in-depth techniques.
